Please answer this: W: Really? What was it? M: I was studying in the classroom when Tom came rushing in. W: Yes? M: He told me there was a telegram for me at the gate house! Someone was ill in my family. W: Goodness me! I hate telegrams. They seldom bring any good news. M: Yes, that's just how I felt. My legs turned to water, so I asked Tom to accompany me to the school gate. W: I can imagine how you felt. M: On my way to the school gate I was thinking terrible things. What could have happened at home, you know, and all that. W: Yes, of course. I understand. M: So when I tore the telegram open, my fingers were trembling. W: Dear me! M: But when I read the telegram, I just couldn't make heads or tails out of it. W: How strange! What did it say? M: It said: Return immediately. Uncle seriously ill. W: Oh, I am sorry to hear that. M: But the surprising part about it is that I have no uncle. W: Indeed! M: I could hardly believe my own eyes. But it was written there in black and white. Then I happened to glance at the address to a "Carl", not "Carol". W: Well, I never! M: You can never imagine how relieved I was. W: Yes. What a relief! But what did Tom have to say? M: Tom was so embarrassed. He kept apologizing all the way back. W: He has always been quite careless. What was said before this conversation?

Problem: Given the question: W: Not a great deal. Why? M: I've been reading an article about computers. They are strange and are being used for almost everything. W: Yes. But have you learned how to use one? M: No. But I'm about to take a course on computers next term. W: That's good. You have to know about computers. Computer knowledge is a must whatever you do. You should learn quickly or you will be left behind. M: That's true. But first I want to learn the basics. In the library, there are computers. But it's a pity that I could not make use of them. W: Well, I can teach you the ABCs, if you like. M: That's very kind of you. What was said before this conversation?

output answer: F: What was the party like last night, Jim?
Frank: I don't know, Lisa. A lot of people also have houses and cars. Lisa: You mean you want to have more than other people and this will make you happy? Frank: Possibly. Lisa: Then you're looking for relative happiness. Frank: Ok, Lisa, what do you think is happiness? Lisa: Well, through the centuries, people have offered quite different definitions of happiness such as happy people were married women and single men, or happiness meant serf-gratification, or happiness could be achieved by eating less or eating more. Frank: So happiness is rather elusive? Lisa: I think the happiest people are those who find joy in their daily lives, and who enjoy their friendships, families, work and hobbies. Frank: You mean they are not bothered by the desire to get something more, something new, something better? Lisa: You couldn't be more correct. One more thing, Frank, if you are happy, you may not be satisfied with your life. Frank: What do you mean? Lisa: Happiness often means how happy you feel with your life now. Satisfaction often means that people have to take a step back from their lives and look at them in general. What was said before this conversation?
