| Joy | I’m really sorry for what happened yesterday. I didn’t know my puppy Leopold escaped my room and went to yours. |
| Thirdy | Well, your dog ate some of the pages of my textbook. He also went through my closet and messed it all up. |
| Joy | Oh no! I’ll buy you a new textbook plus a pen to make up for it. |
| Thirdy | You don’t have to do that. Just stay away from my room, okay? |
| Joy | Come on. You’re not holding a grudge against me because of what my dog did, are you? |
| Thirdy | Of course not. But I’ll be locking my room from now on to keep your puppy away. Better safe than sorry! |
