Dialog
Q. Is your father coming to the gathering this Saturday?
A. No, Neither is my mother.
Q. That’s too bad. My brother was looking forward to seeing them.
A. Well, they’re both a little under the weather.
Q. Oh, sorry to hear that. Can I send something or other to cheer them up?
A. Please don’t bother. They’ll be fine.
Oral Reading
Even though my father is a weatherman, he can’t predict with absolute certainty whether it will rain or not. Neither can the other people who work with him. They say there’s only a thirty per cent chance of rain, and the next thing you know, it’s pouring. They predict snow, and there’s nothing for another five days. Then, there’s a blizzard. So rather than trust my father’s weather forecasts, I use a more reasonable approach. I ask my mother.
