Saly: Instructions and explanations in Lao

Kathy: Okay, I'm ready for riddle number two.

Max: All right.

Here we go: Why do birds fly south in the winter?

Kathy: Why do birds fly south in the winter?

Oh, no, I don’t know.

I don’t know the answer.

Max: Yes...this is a hard one.

Birds fly south in the winter, because it is too far to walk.

Kathy: Too far to walk?

Oh, I see. They fly because it’s too far to walk.

That was difficult.

Max: Well, Kathy, don’t feel bad.

Riddles are fun, but almost impossible to answer.

You did very well!

Kathy: Thanks, Max.

Story Interlude: Larry has visitors.

Larry: OK... and we’re off the air.

Max: You look tired, Larry.

What did you do this weekend?

Larry: Oh, some of my relatives were visiting.

Kathy: That’s nice. Close relatives?

Larry: Yes, my brother and his wife.

They came for the weekend.

I showed them the city.

This was their first visit to Washington, D.C., and they wanted to see everything!

Kathy: So you were their tour guide.

Larry: Yes. I love being a tour guide.

It’s fun to show people around Washington, but it’s tiring.

First, my wife and I took them to the Air and Space Museum.

Then we walked all the way from the Capitol to the Washington Monument.

And after that we went to the Washington Zoo to see the animals.

Kathy: That sounds great!

Larry: Yes, it was. They had a great time!
