| Paul: Sara, I've been looking forward to our yearly campout for three weeks. [Me too] It's going to be a wonderful day for hiking tomorrow. The great outdoors. Camping under the stars . This is the life. Sara: Yeah, but Paul, I'm a little bit worried about the weather though. The weatherman said it was going to rain later tonight.
 
 Paul: Ah. nonsense. Nothing can spoil our adventure. Those weather reports are never right.
 
 Sara: And it said there was a chance of high winds.
 
 Paul: Ah. Don't worry.
 
 [thunder]
 
 Sara: Paul. Paul. Did you remember to bring our raincoats just in case, like I told you?
 
 [light rain]
 
 Paul: Uh . . . no. I left them on the front porch.
 
 [heavy rain]
 
 Sara: What are we going to do now?
 
 Paul: We'll have to sleep in the car! Hurry get in!
 
 [door shut]
 
 Sara: So, Paul, what are we going to do now?
 
 Paul: How about playing a card game?
 
 Sara: Uhh. I left them next to the picnic table. [Hmmm] Hey, you don't want me to go out in this rain and get them, do you?
 
 Paul: No. That's okay. So what now?
 
 Sara: Well, we could head down the mountain and stay at that hotel we passed on the way up, or go home.
 
 Paul: Hmm, why don't we just make the best of it here and hope the weather clears.
 
 Sara: That's a good idea.
