Before you read
Anna walks to the café. She likes to talk with people. She sees her friend Sam. Sam sits at a table.
Anna says, "Hello, Sam! How are you today?" Sam smiles. He says, "I am good. How are you, Anna?" Anna sits down.
They order tea. Anna and Sam talk. They talk about the weather. They talk about their dogs. Anna laughs. Sam tells a funny story.
Anna looks at the clock. She says, "I must go now. See you soon, Sam!" Sam waves. Anna smiles and leaves the café.
That's the story.
