BOY:   My sister and I love staying with Aunt Betty. It’s very different from home.

WOMAN:   How is it different?

BOY:   Well, she hasn’t got a TV, so we can’t watch anything.

WOMAN:   What do you do then?

BOY:   Most of the time she just talks to us – about her travels usually. Sometimes she goes outside and paints a picture, then she comes in and starts telling us stories again.

WOMAN:   Are they good stories?

BOY:   Yes, and sometimes the stories are very long, so we don’t go to sleep until after midnight!
