Sammy: Hey, did you see the fallen tree on the road nearby?
Ika: Yes. Why did it fall?
Lana: That old tree fell and got in the way because it rained
heavily last night.
Ika: Oh, it rained heavily? I didn’t know that. I just got back
from my grandparents’ house this morning. Sammy: Yes. There
was also strong wind.
Lana: That’s right. The electricity also went out due to the heavy
rain and strong wind.
Ika: I would have been scared if I had stayed at home.
Kinan: Where is Tony? He said he would come with us.
Gina: He has to stay at home for a week since her parents are mad at him.
Lia: So he cannot come with us today?
Gina: Yes.
Rian: Why are his parents mad at him?
Gina: I think it is because of his laziness.
Rian: Poor him. I had told him that he should have study and go to school on time, but
he didn’t care about it.
Kinan: It is okay, guys. Maybe he needs to learn from his mistake.
Lia: Yeah, that’s right.
