Hello Rij wa,
I had dream. In the dream I was a small child, one of three sitting on small chairs. A teacher-woman was there and she was asking us questions. One little girl always answered every question put to her with the word "activities." Another gave a similar but different one-word response. The same for a third. I just listened and when my turn came I said something - I can't remember exactly what. The teacher-woman did this again and a again, One time I said, "So, in sammary..." and she cut me off in mid-sentence. I then forgot the rest of what I was going to say. She had taken those memories away from me. I said to her, "Why did you take my other memories away?" She said, "Because you spoke out of turn." I said, "I didn't know we were supposed to answer in turn." She said, "Now you do. Next time you return you will know to wait your turn." I said, "I don't think I will be returning."
So, what do you make of that?
Oh, on another note, I have invited you to dine at a nice little French restaurant. Here's the address and time. I've asked two others to come to. See you then!

"Oh, there she is... over here, Rij wa!"
"Let me introduce Bill and Anne."
"Hello, Rij wa, pleased to meet you," said George.
"It was nice of Oohfee to invite us to join you," said Anne.
"Do you dine here often?"
<TO WHICH YOU RESPOND>
"George and I have lived here for some time, " said Anne.
"We moved here years ago from Vermont. We always thought Paris would be interesting and it hasn't let us down - not for one day." "Where is your home and what are you doing in Paris, Rijwa?"
<TO WHICH YOU RESPOND>
"Oh, that is most interesting," said George. "I've often wanted to visit there. Do you suppose it would be difficult? What sort of things should we do if we come to visit? Could we meet your family?"
<TO WHICH YOU RESPOND>
"Ah, here is the waiter. Is everyone ready to order?" said Ufi.
"Yes," said George and Anne. "I should like an explanation of this item on the menu, Please, what is it?" said Anne.
"That madame, is baby pigeon from the egg, boiled, in a lively white sauce," said the Waiter.
"Oh, well then, I'll just have the Sole Meunière," said Anne.
"That's sound good. I'll have the same," said George.
"So will I," said Ufi. "How about you, Rij wa? What will you have?"
