Thomas: Hello Alberto. What’s up?
Albert: Not bad, thanks! How’s it
going?
Thomas: Fine! What happened?
Albert: I was really worried about my
theory driving test last week, but…
I hit the book the whole week and in the end I passed it with flying colours
Thomas: Great! Congratulations! That isn’t a problem. Is it?
Albert: No, isn’t it, But, now I need to past the practice driving test next week
Thomas: Next week? You must be joking. You’re driving
very badly now.
I think it’ll be very difficult.
Perhaps, you can past the driving test once in a blue moon.
Albert: You are right. I drive
horribly. But you could scratch my back. You can help me to pass the test.
Thomas: What? When pigs fly! Why
I must do that? Are you crazy?
Albert: Because you are my best
friend and you need 1.000€ to get your new sport car and I’ll give it to you.
Thomas: You are right! But, I could be catched in a red-handed in that test.
Albert: Yes, It’s true. There’s
a possibility, but I have already thought of everything about it. Don’t
worry my friend. Think about all your neighbours will be green with envy.
Thomas: OK you’ve twisted
my arm, I’ll do it for you.
Because you are my best friend. You know. When must I go to the do the test?
Albert: I don’t know it exactly. Some things are still up in the air.
You just have to sit tight and wait, for now.
Thomas: OK. I will trust you.
I’m only going to ask for my new car.
I hope you don’t stab me in the back. I think you’re a bit cheat.
Albert: Yes, that's the pot
calling the kettle black.
But, don’t
worry. I won’t do that. If you expect that of me don't hold your breath!
I’m a reliable friend.
