AT THE PARK

[Calls after Roy] Don't get too dirty! He really likes to get dirty!
And he really likes to take baths, too right?
Oh, I wish. This is a nice park. Yes it is. Have you been here before?
No, we've just come here for the first time today. How about you?
We come here often. We live just around the corner of Maple
Street. ,
We live near here, too. Our house is on Elm Street by McKenzie
School. By
the way, my name is Joyce. Hi, Joyce. I'm Tasha. It's nice to
meet you. Does your son go to McKenzie School?
Yes, he does.
So does my daughter. Maybe they're
in the same class. How old is your son?
He's nine. He's in grade four. How about your daughter?
'She's ten. She's in grade five. LISA: Hi, Mom.
Hi Lisa. This is Joyce. Joyce, this is my daughter Lisa.
' Hi, Lisa. Nice to meet you.
Hi! Oh, Mom, will you go on the teeter-totter
with me?
Oh no! I'm too big.
No, you're not. Please.
Maybe Roy will play with you. [Calls
Roy] Roy! Come here a minute.
Hi, Mom! I like this park. There's a
jungle gym you can climb and a tree house.
Roy, this is Tasha and this is her daughter Lisa.
: Hi! ROY: Hi!
I brought some raisins. Would you like some?

Raisins? No thanks!
How about you, Roy? Would you like
some?
: Sure! I love raisins.
He doesn't eat them at home. [To the children] I brought some
grapes. Do
you like grapes Lisa? LISA: Yes, I do! Thanks!
How about you, Tasha? Would you like some?
No, thank you. [To Joyce] Lisa eats raisins at home every day, but
she
never eats grapes! JOYCE: Someone else's snack always-looks
better!
: Oh, Roy? Will you come on the teeter-totter with
me?
Sure! LISA: [To Tasha] You guys can go on
the teeter-totter
together. You are about the same size!
Thanks, but I would rather watch! [To Joyce] How about you?
I would rather watch, too. LISA: Okay.
At least they didn't ask us to climb the jungle gym!
