LET BYGONES BE BYGONES

DIALOGUE

A: What’s become of Edith Jones? I’ve lost track of her.

B: I don’t know and frankly I don’t care. The last time I saw Edith she said something that rubbed me the wrong way.

A: Really? I took it for granted that you two were very good friends.

B: We were – until I got tired of her remarks.

A: Oh, come on. Let bygones be bygones. Life is too short to stay angry.

B: well, maybe.

A: I’m sure Edith would like to renew your friendship. Meet her halfway.

B: I suppose you’re right. Okay, I’ll turn over a new leaf and try again. As you say, life is too short to stay angry.

UNDER THE WEATHER

DIALOGUE

A : It’s a beautiful day. Let’s go for a walk.

B : I’d like to but I feel under the weather. I think I’m catching cold.

A : You’d better watch your step then. A cold is no fun.

B : I suppose it serves me right. I went outside without a coat last night.

A : You know the best cure for a cold, don’t you? Take it easy and drink lots of liquids.

B : I’ll do that. I don’t want my cold to go from bad to worse.

A : You’re right. It could easily develop into flu if you’re not careful.
