W: Oh, Tim. What happened to
you?
M: It isn’t anything
serious.
W: It’s serious enough for
you to be in the hospital.
M: Just a little too much
smoke. I’ll be back home this evening.
W: How did it happen?
M: I had to go into a house
that was on fire. There was still someone inside.
W: Did you get him out?
M: It was a little girl.
Yes, I got her out.
W: But there was a lot of
smoke?
M: Yes, a lot. I had some
trouble breathing, so they sent me here just for the doctors to take a look at
me.
W: And now you’ll tell me
that it’s all part of the job.
M: Well, it is. You
shouldn’t worry all the time.
W: But I do. I hope that
you’ll give up the work.
M: Give it up? No, not
because of a little smoke. I’m really all right.

M: Do you take long
vacations at Christmas?
W: Yes, we do.
M: Where are you going for
your vacation?
W: I’m not sure. My daughter
is going to Egypt
to see the Pyramids.
M: Is your son going to take
a vacation?
W: No, he is not. He is very
busy with his studies.
M: What about your husband?
W: He is going to China. He is
very interested in the culture and customs of the Chinese people. So we are
leaving for China
next week.

We interrupt this program to
bring you special news. This afternoon, a school bus that left Central Junior High School at 3 p.m. was struck
by a truck that ran into the back of the bus. The student getting off and ten
other students have been badly hurt in the accident. The trucker also was hurt
when the truck turned over. The police say that the trucker or the bus-driver
had not been drinking and nor can poor weather conditions be used to explain
the accident. The people who got hurt were sent to the hospital shortly after
the accident. This is the seventh traffic accident in the city this month. The
police tell drivers to be more careful in driving. We will tell you more about
the accident in the five o’clock news report. Now we return you to the
midafternoon music show.
