A:
Victor: Helen, I'm so glad I was able to talk you into jogging with me.
Helen: It's a great way to stay in shape and keep fit. Just breathe in that bracing fresh air.
Victor: Let's go.
Helen: Is that rain I feel?
Victor: No! Just a little morning dew.
Helen: Well, that dew is getting a little heavier. A lot heavier!
Victor: Isn't it fun getting a little wet?
Helen: Your idea of fun is a lot different than mine!
Victor: See! It stopped! We no longer have to worry about getting wet. We joggers say a little rain brings good luck.
Helen: Then we should be the world's luckiest joggers!
(A big dog is chasing them.)
Helen: Victor! Victor! We're being chased!
Victor: Don't worry about that little thing.
Helen: It's not the little thing I'm worried about. It's the great big thing!
