 Lisa returns home. She cannot believe her eyes! Her kids,
Amy and Ben, are in the living room. They run around the
big and expensive table and shout. This game is enjoyed by
them very much.
Lisa stands and looks at them. This is what she sees and
hears: Ben is asked to wait for Amy, but he does not wait. He
continues to run. So Amy's request is changed. Now Ben is
asked to help Amy. Ben stops and Amy is helped. (Lisa is
impressed!)
Now Lisa is invited to join them. "Yes, mummy! Come
and join us!" Amy and Ben shout.
