THE BEGINNING

I want to play hockey.

Your father’s working. We’ll talk about it in the morning.

I need to know now! Tomorrow’s the day!

But you don’t know how to skate!!!

I’ll learn.

He wants to play hockey.

How can he? He doesn’t know how to skate.

I know; he says he’ll learn.

We’ll talk about it in the morning.

He needs to know now. It starts tomorrow.

If he’s really insistent, go buy him a pair of skates.

He has a list.

What’s all this stuff???

The list!!

How much?

$400.00

$400.00!! and he doesn’t even know how to skate!!!

I know but he says he’ll learn!!
