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. |
