Earthquakes Mini-Story Lesson
Hello, welcome to the mini-story lesson for the conversation titled “Earthquakes.” Let’s get started with the
story.
* * * * *
Luke lives in San Francisco.
Luke can eat fifty eggs in one hour. Luke told his friend George. George thought this seemed
far-fetched. He thought that Luke was pulling his leg.
“You’ve gotta be kidding,” he said to Luke.
So Luke bet George $100 that he can eat fifty eggs in one hour.
Luke ate fifteen eggs in the first ten minutes then all of a sudden the ground started to shake. There
was an earthquake due east of San Francisco. Luke was not surprised because earthquakes are a
dime a dozen in San Francisco.
“When you live in San Francisco, it’s a given that you will feel an earthquake,” said Luke.
“Totally,” said George.
Then Luke ate the rest of the eggs in twenty-two minutes so George had to give him $100.
* * * * *
Okay, so that’s our story. Now I will start at the beginning of the story and as I read the story I will ask
questions and as always, please answer the questions out loud. If you need a little more time then you can
pause your iPod or your mp3 player and take as much time as you need to answer the questions. Of course,
if you just feel like listening to the questions and not answering them, that’s fine as well.
Okay, so here we go.
