The phone woke kim up. she answered the call almost immediately, after the beep, because she was expected her mother to call. but it wasn’t her. the voice on the other end of the line sounded familiar but kim / remember who it belonged to. “hello,” the lady said. “can i speak to mrs. len? ” “i’m sorry but she’s not at home. she’s out. she in the park.” it was very cold out-of-doors and everything in snow but kim’s mother walked in all weathers. she believed that it her keep fit and gave her extra energy. she actually looked younger than other of her age and that was probably because of her walking. “can i take a message? ” kim asked politely. “no. i her later. when is she going to be back? ” “she normally home at five.” “fine,” came the answer and the phone went dead. kim felt a bit hurt. “it’s not polite to break off a conversation like that,” she thought to herself. if i older, i would explain to that lady how to talk to people politely.”
