In a sentence

のどthroatかわいた渇いたis dryみずwaterちょうだいplease

I'm thirsty, give me water

How it works

Two short clauses sit side by side. First the cause: (subject) marks のど (throat) as what's doing the action, and 渇いたかわいた (got dry) is the plain past of 渇くかわく (to get dry). Then the request: casual ちょうだい (give me) drops any particle after みず (water), so it sounds like an everyday "water, please" between friends.
