Visiting a Construction Site


Bill: Ma’am! ma’am! 


Estelle: Yes? 


Bill: Ma’am, you’re not supposed to be here. This is a construction site and you’re not allowed. Please don’t step on that scaffolding. It’s dangerous. 


Estelle: Oh, I just wanted a quick look to see how the building is coming along. Look at all this lumber 1 and brick. The foundation is already done and the beams and rafters are going up. This is so exciting! 


Bill: Ma’am, this is a dangerous area, especially for someone not wearing a hard hat. 


Estelle: I won’t stay very long. I just wanted to see the progress. 


Bill: Watch out! 


Estelle: Oh, I almost tripped over these pickaxes and shovels 2 and landed in the wheelbarrow. Thank you for saving me. 


Bill: You’re welcome. Now let me escort you off the site. 


Estelle: But I wanted to see that bulldozer and crane over there. 


Bill: You can see them just fine from the street. And from the street you won’t be my responsibility!
