Travel agent: Well, we can give you three weeks in a small boat in the small hole in the bottom.
Brenda: A hole in the bottom?
Travel agent: and you have enough food for ten days.
Martin: Ten days?
Travel agent: That’s right.
Martin: But the holiday is for three weeks.
Travel agent: That’s what makes it exciting! And it’s only £600.
Brenda: £600! It’s still much too expensive for us.
Martin: Have you got anything a little bit cheaper?
Travel agent: Cheaper…well, I don’t know. Let me see…Um…Oh, yes. Now this is a holiday to
remember. The Amazon jungle. Have you been to the Amazon jungle?
Martin: No, we haven’t.
Travel agent: Well, this may be the holiday
for you. We drop you into the middle of the Amazon jungle by parachute.
Martin: By parachute!
Travel agent: Yes, we drop you into the middle of the Amazon jungle, with a map.
Brenda: Well, at least you get a map.
Travel agent: with a map of the London Underground.
Brenda: Oh. I don’t think we’d like that. It sounds very dangerous.
Travel agent: Yes, but it’s very exciting! This is the twentieth century. People want exciting holidays. You said you wanted an exciting holiday.
Martin: But all your holidays are dangerous, expensive, and too far away from home.
Travel agent: Oh, I see. Now you want something nearer home.
Martin: Er…yes.
