Making a Reservation
By Patti Hutchison 		  
1     John called Lisa on the phone. "Let's go to that fancy restaurant you've always wanted to try," he said excitedly.
 
2     "Picasso's?" Lisa asked. "You know that it's really expensive."
 
3     "I want to celebrate," John told her. "I got a raise today at work!"
 
4     "That's great news!" Lisa exclaimed.
 
5     "So, get your fancy dress on, and meet me there," John told her.
 
6     "Did you make reservations?" Lisa asked.
 
7     "No," John admitted. "I didn't even think of it."
 
8     "You know they are always busy," Lisa said. "You should make a reservation so we don't have to wait a long time for a seat."
 
9     "That's a good idea," John agreed. "I'll call the restaurant, and then I'll call you back."
 
10     "Okay," Lisa said, hanging up the phone.
