Why are you making that face? Father: Well, well, it's just, just a little rich for me. That's all. Daughter: Let me try it Dad. Uh. Dad. You put a little too much salt in it and besides it's burned.

Which one do you want to go to? W: The nearest one. M: That's rather far away, too. You'd better take a bus. Take the No. 7 bus to the zoo, then change to the No. 9 bus and get off at the end.
