A: No, no.

B: Ok, well, um, I don’t know if I told you that I’m

going on vacation next week for a couple

of weeks…

A: Oh, right. Excellent!

B: And I was wondering if I could ask you a big

favor… Would you mind taking a look at my

house and feeding the cats while I’m away?

A: Yeah, that’s fine. Sure. But what time do they need

to eat? Sometimes I get home a little late.

B: Well, generally what I do is leave some dried food

out for them in the morning. Then they can eat

whenever they want.

A: No problem. I’ll do that. Would you mind leaving

me the key to your house?

B: Of course. I can see you’re quite busy now, but

could you come by the house so I can show you

where everything is? I’m leaving next Monday, so

you could stop by any time before then.

A: Yeah that’s fine. No problem.

B: Ah, thank you so much!

A: Where are you going?

A: No way! Fantastic!
