LESSON 2 EXPLORE
She Owes You a Favor
Barry was on his way to class in the morning, when he saw his friend
Marcello.
“Hi, Barry,” Marcello said. “You look tired! Were you up all night working on
your history assignment?”
Barry shook his head. “If only I had been. You'll never believe what happened
to me last night. At about
one in the morning, while I was still working on my history paper, the phone
rang.”
“Who was calling you at that hour?” Marcello asked.
“It was Alison. She said she had gotten stuck. Her car had broken down in the
middle of the highway,”
Barry laughed. “She told me that she had tried to push it to the side of the
road. She sounded really
worried. Being the nice guy that I am, I told her to take it easy, and that I
would be right there.”
“So, what did you do?”
“Well, she thought the problem was the brakes,” Barry explained, “so I took
some replacement parts.
However, knowing Alison the way I do, I took two quarts of oil and a gallon of
gas, too.”
“She sure is lucky that her best friend is a mechanic,” Marcello said.
“Yeah, but it would have been better for me if she had gotten stuck after I
had written the history
assignment,” Barry replied. “I didn't get home until four in the morning! And
the assignment is due
tomorrow.”
Marcello smiled. “Well, Alison is very good at history...and she does owe you
a favor...”
Barry smiled, too. “You know what? You're right! I think I'll call her right
now!”
