A Man and a Woman Walking

Setting: A warm afternoon.  A man and a woman are enjoying a walk down a country road.  The road winds through a series of open pastures.  High clouds drift slowly over the scene.

Man: “What a great day for a walk.”

Woman: “I love this.  Where I come from it rained so much I was not able to walk every day.  On days of light rain I took my umbrella for a walk with me.”

    

Man: “I tried to take my umbrella for a walk once.  It could not keep up with me on the steep hills.”
