Lesson 21

Text A

  Bill Is Very Rude

    Bill is in Victor's house and he is sitting down. He is leaning back and he has put his feet on the table. Bill is very rude.   VICTOR:
   Would you mind° taking your feet off the table, Bill?
 
BILL:
   Not at all. But I was very comfortable.
 
VICTOR:
   Do you put your feet on your own table?
 
BILL:
   No, I never do that.
 
VICTOR:
   Why not?
 
BILL:
   I don't want to mark my table, of course.
 
VICTOR:
   Well, will you please avoid marking mine?
 
BILL:
   I'm sorry. I thought you were going to buy a new table soon.
 
VICTOR:
   I hope to buy a new table, but I have to sell my old one first.
 
BILL:
   Would you please tell me how much you want for it?
 
VICTOR:
   How much do you think it's worth?
 
BILL:
   Not much. It's badly marked. I'll give you ten dollars for it.
