2. Bernice Rides on the Slide

Bernice and I go to visit a park with some students. Bernice, always the little girl, cannot resist riding on the slide, much to the amusement of everyone watching. We take these excursions each week with two students for each long nose so the students will have a chance to practice their English. We fine the students a dollar if they use Chinese on these trips. Sometimes we round up some Canadians to go with us so we can take more students. The students have the responsibility of organizing the trips and transportation.
