"The Fly"
|
|
A: |
That fly has been flying around the
room for an hour. I have been trying to study.....it is so annoying. |
|
B: |
Get up and open the window. It will go
out. |
|
A: |
Where have you been this past hour, by the way?
I thought you wanted to study with me. |
|
B: |
I have been learning in the other room.
It is much nicer to study in front of the tv. I have been watching the
news at the same time.
|
|
A: |
You can't study and watch tv at the same time -
that's why you have been failing the tests lately. |
|
B:: |
I haven't been failing It's true I
haven't been doing well - but I have not been failing! That's not
fair! |
|
A: |
Oh there's that stupid fly again. |
|
B: |
(Opens the window and the fly goes out)
See, you've been wasting your time trying to catch the fly. It has
been trying to get out the window all this time. |
|
A: |
Yes, and I have been too busy - and too lazy to
get up. Anyway, come and join me here, we can study together. |
|
B: |
Alright. |
