A: *Ding dong* Vy, are you at home? It’s me, Ngoc.
B: *Opening the door* Hi, Ngoc! Come in, I’m cooking. A: I smell it, what are you cooking? B: I’m cooking the fried crab with tamarind sauce. I haven’t eaten it for several years. A: Oh, me too. That reminds me about my childhood. B: Really? Did you have a happy childhood? What is your most vivid childhood memory, Ngoc? A: Yes, I have a memorable childhood. I remember the time when I was 10 and lived with my grandparents. B: Where was you at that time? A: In a countryside, in Tien Giang Province. B: What did you usually do in your childhood? A: I had some older friends in the neighbors. We didn’t have any phone or TV at home, so we often used to walked in the countryside near my grandparents’ home. We walked really far over the big green fields. B: That was a beautiful scenery! A: Yah, it was. In the afternoon, we flew kites together, heard wind blowing some leaves mixed with the sound of the public radio far away when it turned on and off. In rainy days, we went catching the snails and crabs in the flooded fields. That was really funny. After went home, we give the crabs to my grandmother and she cooked the fried crabs with tamarind sauce. It was so delicous! B: Your childhood memory was so amazing but it was quite different from mine. A: Was it? I’m so curious. Tell me about your story. What is the most impressive memory in your childhood? B: Hmmm… When I was a little child, I loved to go out with my family, and going to Dam Sen Theme Park was one of my favorite event. A: Wow, did that event bring a lot of fun? B: That day would be fun if I haven’t got lost. A: OMG, what happened with you my dear? Did you feel scared, cry a lot and scream? B: After we joined the playground section to play various interesting games, we bought some snacks and drinks for lunch. Then I ran after a beautiful red balloon and got lost from my parents. I was scared but I remember my mom's phone number and asked an adult for help. A: You were so cool. Why could you remember your mom’s phone number? Other kids would cry and screamed a lot. B: My mom had taught me what to do if I got lost. A: Oh, she must be a thoughtful mom. B: Hey, I finish the fried crabs. Let’s enjoy this moment. A: Yay, thank you so much for the meal. I’ll take you to Dam Sen Theme Park to help you recall your memory. *laugh*
