Hi guys
Hey Sergio, whats up?
Oh, not much. Im bored.
Hey Sergio, if you are bored you should play a game of basketball
with us. We are just about to begin.
Yeah, that sounds like a great idea.
Well, okay. Ill play, but Im not very good.
That doesnt matter. None of us are very good. Besides, we are just
playing for some exercise.
Okay cool.
There are four of us so we should play 2 on 2.
Yeah, that seems fair.
Let me put my athletic shoes on and I will be ready to go.
Okay, we will wait for you.
I am glad that we will finally have even teams!
This should be fun!
