Situation 13:

Basketball Practice 1(School ends and Robert and Billy get

ready to go to basketball practice.)

Robert, did you get your new shoes?

No, my mom said I should use my old Reeboks.What about you?

I got new shoes yesterday.My mom bought me a pair of the newest Air Jordans.

Noway!

Really!They cost one hundred and fifty dollars.

Wow.That’s expensive.My mom would never buy me shoes that are that expensive,

but good shoes make you play basketball better.

No, that’s not true.

Yes,it is.Look at Michael Jordan - his shoes are the best,so he is the best.

No. He would be the best even if he had bad shoes.

How do you know?

I just know.

I’m going to ask Coach Malone if it’s true.

Good, ask him.I’ll bet you he says I’m right.

Okay,how much do you want to bet?

I’ll bet you five dollars.

All right.It’s a bet.
