The Tablecloth Trick
An embarrassing incident at a lunch restaurant made Denise run outside while her friend Marion paid the bill.
The problem occurred when Denise got up from the table and was followed by something.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marion : Are you okay? You turned beet red in there.
Denise : No, I'm not. Let's get on the first bus that comes. I don't think I'll ever live that down.
Marion : Don't worry about it. There are plenty of other restaurants in this city.
Denise : It was all that waiter could do to stifle his laughter.
Marion : So, how did our tablecloth get caught in your belt, anyway?
Denise : <sigh> I thought I was tucking my napkin into my waist.
Everyone in there probably thinks I'm some yokel who'd never set eyes on a restaurant with tablecloths before.
Marion : Well, they didn't charge me much for the broken dishes, and I owed you some money anyway.

To my blog visitors,
This is my first time to write and upload PE Dialog on my blog.
Recently I felt that I am getting lazy studying English. So, I made a rule to upload PE dialog in a regular way.
I hope this is good for me and your second-language learning.
Thank you.
