M: Guess who I met yesterday.

W: Thomas.

M: Oh.Did somebody tell you?

W: No.

M: I can't imagine how you guessed then.

W: Well, you told me he was back from Canada, you know.

M: Oh, did I?

Yes, he got back three days ago.

W: And have you found out what he's been doing over there?

M: He's told me all about it.

W: Come on, then, you tell me.

M: Well, you know he wanted to try an open-air life, but he couldn't decide whether he should be a cowboy or a lumberjack.

W: So what did he do?

M: First of all, he got a job as a cowboy, but he wasn't very good at it.

W: Oh, why not?

M: Well, for one thing, he could never remember which horse was his.

W: That certainly sounds like Thomas.Once he forgot which girl he'd taken to a dance.

M: Anyhow, he wasn't a very good rider, either.The horse could never understand where he wanted to go.

W: Oh, yes.That must have been awkward.

M: Yes, he often got completely lost.

W: So I suppose he began to wonder if he'd better be a lumberjack instead?

M: Yes, that's right.

W: Was he any more successful?

M: Well, not really.You see he kept forgetting how dangerous the work was.

W: So what happened?

M: He cut down a large tree and didn't realise which way it would fall.

W: Oh dear.Was he badly hurt?

M: Only a broken leg.But while he was in hospital he made up his mind what he really wanted to do.

W: Oh, good.What is it?

M: He decided to come back to England and get married next month.
