[originaltext]F: Hey Kirk, we axe getting away for the weekend to go canoeing.

F: Hey Kirk, we axe getting away for the weekend to go canoeing. Wanna come along?
M: Well, umm, it’d be great to get away, but I’ve never done that before.
F: None of the others have, either, except for me. I went once last fall, but there’ll be an instructor the fast day.
M: I don’t know.
F: Oh, come on. This is our last chance to take a break before the exam. The scenery is beautiful, and if it gets too hot we can dive in whenever we feel like it. The river’s really calm this time of the year, with lots of fish.
M: Sounds good. What would I have to bring?
F: Let’s see. Tom’s bringing food for the Friday night cookout for everyone. And the people who run the trip have tents set up and they supply food and drinks for all day Saturday. On the way back Sunday morning we’ll stop somewhere for breakfast. So, you have to bring a bathing suit and a sleeping bag.
M: I do love camping and sleeping out. Where is this place?
F: It’s about an hour and a half to the place where we meet the trip leaders. We leave our car there and they drive us upriver to the place where we stay.
M: And who’s driving us to the meeting place?
F: Well, I was hoping we could take Tom’s car. Mine’s in the shop again. But unfortunately he had a small accident yesterday. He’s fine, but his car...
M: Oh, I see. You can take my car.
F: Great. I’ll give you a call when I find out when everyone wants to leave on Friday.
