He’s not an Artist


                              Mrs Robinson is in her garden.
                              She is standing near the fence.
                              She is talking to her neighbour.
                              Her neighbour’s name is Mrs Price.
  MRS  ROBINSON:    Good morning Mrs Price.
                              Can I borrow your ladder,  please?
        MRS  PRICE:    Not now, Mrs Robinson.
                              I can;t give it to you this afternoon.
                              My husband is using the ladder now.
                              He’s upstaris.
                              He’s painting.
  MRS  ROBINSON:    Painting!
                             That’s a nice hobby!
        MRS  PRICE:    Oh, it’s not his hobby, Mrs Robinson.
                              He doesn’t like it.
  MRS  ROBINSON:    Is your husband painting a picture?
        MRS  PRICE:    No, he can’t paint pictures.
                              He isn’t an artist.
  MRS  ROBINSON:    What is he doing?
        MRS  PRICE:     He’s painting the bathroom!
