Nepal Part 1 Mini-Story Lesson
Hi. Welcome to the mini-story for the conversation “Nepal Part 1”. Okay, let’s get started with the story. * * * * *

Ricky the rat was excited. Tonight he was going to a Rolling Stones concert. He was going to the concert with his mother, Rhonda the rat. His mother had been to three Rolling Stones concerts many years ago. So she knew it would be like a walk downmemory lane. Ricky and his mother had a ball at the concert. After it was over, they decided to try to meet Mick Jagger, the singer of the band. They knew that the band was staying at the Holiday Inn. So they drove to the hotel to try to find them. When they got to the hotel room, they knocked on the door. A security guard answered the door but he would not let them in. “Sorry, no rats allowedinside,” said the security guard. “I think we will have to pay him off,” said Ricky’s mother. So she gave the security guard $200 to let them in. When he saw Mick Jagger, Ricky said, “Jeez, Mick, hand’s down, that was the best concert that I have ever seen.” “Thank you very much” Mick said, “You really make me feel at home.” Ricky’s mother got a shot of Mick Jagger and Ricky shaking hands. “I’llnever forget this day,” Ricky said. * * * * *

Okay, so that’s our story. Now I will tell the story again and this time I will ask you questions. So please try to answer the questions out loud and if you need a little more time, you can always pause your player on your computer or your iPod and take a little more time. And then when you’ve had enough time to answer the question, you can just playagain. And, of course, if you just feel like listening as you go through this lesson and not answering the questions, well that’s fine, too.
