1     It was late on a Sunday afternoon in autumn. Wendy had curled up in front of a roaring fire with her favorite book. She heard voices on her front porch. When she opened her front door, she found her friends Tim and Tess in a heated discussion.
 
2     "Hi, Tim," she said. "Hi, Tess."
 
3     "Oh, hi, Wendy," said Tess. "We can't agree on something."
 
4     "What's the problem?" said Wendy.
 
5     "We just had a family dinner," answered Tim. "Our Great Aunt Ruth was there."
 
6     "She is a very good story teller," added Tess.
 
7     "We love to hear her tell stories about when she was a little girl," said Tim.
 
8     "She told us a really funny story today," continued Tess.
 
9     "There's just one thing we didn't understand," said Tim.
 
10     "What's that?" asked Wendy.
 
11     "Aunt Ruth told us about a time she delivered telegrams," answered Tess.
 
12     "And we don't know what telegrams are," finished Tim.
