Situation: Every
year, Rooster Run, a country music band holds a concert at Silverado park. Alex
and his two friends are heading toward the park to attend the concert.
Alex: Hey Jane, John,
there is a musical concert in the park. You want to go see the band play?
Jane: I am done with my
homework; I can go.
John: Me too. Let’s go.
Jane: Hey, look at that
sport car. Isn’t it neat?
Alex: That is exactly
the kind of car that I want once I get a good job. I bet it is very fast. I
want mine to be red though.
Jane: Keep on dreaming,
Alex. That car costs a fortune.
Alex: It does not hurt
to set high expectations. Maybe one day I will make a lot of money, and I might
surprise you.
John: Talking about cars,
why is the traffic so heavy today?
Alex: People are probably
heading toward the park for the concert. The band does play pretty good music.
Jane: Yes, it does. For
the last three years, I have never missed the concert. I have always arranged
my schedule so that I could attend the event once the band was in town.
John: How long ago did
the band start playing at our park?
Jane: I think it started this
tradition five years ago before you moved into our neighborhood.
Every year it
always arrives the first week of June to play for the whole week.
Alex: You will enjoy this
evening, John. There will be good Country music, a lot of stomping around, and
definitely a lot of hollering.
John: It sounds like fun.
Jane: My favorite is Rock
and Roll music; however, I have to say that country melodies can be quite
enticing. I can listen to them all day long.
Alex: John, what kind of
music do you like?
John: Oh, I like all
kinds of music as long as it is not Hard Rock.
Jane: Wow, look at the
number of people who have already shown up for the concert. Good thing that we
are here already.
Alex: Jane, where do you
want to sit? In the shade or in the sun?
Jane: In the shade,
please. I have been in the sun too much lately.
John: There is a food
stand over there. Do you two want anything?
Jane: Nothing for me,
thanks. I already have my bottle of water.
Alex: I want a bag of
chips and a soda. Are you sure you do not want any chips, Jane?
Jane: I am quite sure.
Besides, my mother is cooking a good steak dinner, and I want to save my appetite.
Alex: Jane, you are so
lucky to have such a good cook for a mother. John, you have to taste her
cream cakes one of
these days. You cannot find better cream cakes anywhere in this town.
Jane: I know we will have
cream cake for dessert this evening. I will save you a piece if you want,
John: I always love cake,
so please save me a piece. Thanks, Jane.
Jane: How about you,
Alex? A piece of cake for you too?
Alex: You know I will say
yes to a piece of your
mother’s cream cake any day.
Jane: OK, I will save two
pieces of cream cake for both of you tonight. We can meet at the cafeteria at
lunch time tomorrow and I will give them to you.
John: Alex, you better
get your chips and soda now if you still want them. It is almost 3:00PM, and
the concert is about to start.
Alex: For the last time,
do you guys want anything?
Jane: I am sure I do not
want anything, Alex. I am doing fine.
John: Me neither, Alex.
Alex: OK, save me a seat.
I will be right back.
