درس بیست و یکم - آیا می توانی به مهمانی بیایی؟

Hi there! Washington, D.C. has some great coffee shops. My favorite is this one Busboys & Poets.

Actually it’s more than a coffee shop. It’s also a bookstore, a restaurant and a theater!

Marsha and I love coming here.

Hey, Anna, my friend is having a party on Saturday. Can you come with me?

Sorry, I can’t come with you. I have to get my driver’s license.

Will you be busy all day?

I don’t know. First, I have to take a test on the computer. Then I have to take a test in the car.

But you have to take the test during the day, don’t you?

Yes.

The party is at night.

Oh. Then I can come with you to the party on Saturday night.

Great! I have to help my friend with the party. Can you help me?

Sure. That sounds like fun.

Everyone has to bring something or do something. You can bring food, or you can perform.

Really, I can perform?

You can! Can you?

Yes! I can recite poetry. (Anna is in a club reciting a poem)

A poem

Light dark

Light dark

Darkness

Dark

In this country, nobody recites poetry at parties. Um can you do anything else?

Hmm, yes. I can do a card trick.

Your card is the 10 of diamonds!

No?

Pick a card. Any card.

Here, just pick this one.

Great!

Anna, maybe you can just bring food.

No, I can’t cook. And I really want to perform. You know, there is one thing I can do.

Trouble in mind. I’m blue.

But I won’t be blue always

The sun’s gonna shine in my back door some day.

That’s it! You can sing at the party. Now, I have to go shopping for food.

Can I help? I’m not busy right now.

Sure, let’s go!

We have to go. I have to help Marsha shop. And I have to practice my song! Trouble in mind. I’m blue.

Until next time!
