However , in your hurry to get to the airport , you left the tie in the paper
bag in the taxi . Write a dialogue explaining the situation to your friend and
expressing your regret .
Govind : Hi , Welcome back to India ! How was your trip
to America ?
Myself : Fine,
fine . America is a lovely place . I enjoyed it very much .
Govind : Yes , I
read your emails about your visits to the Empire State building and other
places . It must have been awesome .
Myself : Yes , it
was !
Govind : Well ?
Myself : Well what
?
Govind : Did you
bring me the tie I wanted ?
Myself : N … no …
no…
Govind : What ? I
expressly asked you to buy me a tie with the initial of my name on it .
Couldn’t you do even that much for a friend
?
Myself : Well ,
it’s like this ….
Govind : Yes , I’m
waiting . Tell me .
Myself : I bought
the tie .
Govind : You
bought the tie ? Then where is it ?
Myself : Well , it’s
like this . I forgot about the tie . Then when I was on my way to the airport I
remembered . I had already scouted around two or three shops earlier . I stopped the taxi , Went into a shop and bought ten ties because the salesman
was too slow and had no change . As it is I was late for the flight .
Govind : And then
?
Myself : I don’t
know how to explain this to you , but this is what happened . In my hurry to
catch the flight , I left the tie in the taxi cab .
Govind : Oh my
gosh ! You mean to say , you actually bought the ties and then forgot them in
the taxi ? That’s how good a friend you are ?
Myself : Yes ,
Govind , that’s what happened . I’m really sorry , but next time I promise …..
Govind : Oh , go
on . When will you get a chance to visit New York again ? Anyway , it’s ok . At
least you did buy the ties . Thanks for nothing , though !
