history: The other night we went out for ice cream. Our son walked up to a cop and told him he wanted to meet the mayor, the cop said he could make it happen! We were eating ice cream last night and my son walked over to a police officer and started talking to him.
current: Well that's sweet. How did the policeman react?
next: He was so nice, he even volunteered to set up a meeting with the mayor and my son!
