arah Hello, Ryan. You don’t look very happy.

S
Ryan No. Well, we didn’t make much money in the café last month – again.
Sarah Oh, I see.
Ryan We didn’t get many customers, because the weather was bad. And the
factory on the corner closed recently, so the workers don’t come now.
Sarah That’s true.
Ryan And last Thursday our son Russell arrived home.
Sarah Yes, I heard about that.
Ryan He was in Mexico, but he didn’t have any money, so he came back.
Sarah Oh, right.
Ryan Cindy’s happy. Russell can’t do anything wrong in her eyes.
Sarah But can’t he help in the café? You could save some money.
Ryan Russell? He doesn’t get up till midday. And he eats like a horse!

No, you don’t save money when

Russell’s here. You lose it.
