DID YOU HEAR
THE NEWS?
Dave was cooking
dinner when the phone rang. It was his sister Alice.
Alice: |
Did
you hear the news? I was washing the dog when I heard. |
Dave: |
No,
what news? |
Alice: |
Oh,
it's terrible. I was listening to the radio. They just said it. Where's
Sue? She'll be upset. |
Dave: |
Sue's
taking the children to their swimming lessons. What's wrong? |
Alice: |
Oh,
it's terrible. John Lennon was walking into his apartment building
and it just happened. |
Dave: |
What
happened? |
Alice: |
A
man was following him and the man shot Lennon. I can't believe it.
John Lennon is dead. He was going home ... and now he is dead. |
