Sister: A whole bunch of strange men was brought in by trucks.

Brother: That really scared me. They got out and started to climb up ladders.

Sister: (Afraid suddenly) Oh! My friends were grabbed and put into large bags. I could hear them yell for help.

Father: Hey! We shouldn’t look at them; otherwise, they’

ll notice us. Mother: But it’s useless.

Sister: Oh, God! We’re discovered!

Brother: Oh! We’

re being grabbed and pulled from our branches. What will we do for food and water?

Sister: It will be so uncomfortable going to town in that bag with a lot of strangers. Mother: Well, we’ll just have to do our best. Father: Yeah!

(After having been on the road in a bag for half an hour, they are placed on a fruit stand. )

Sister: Oh! Mother! How could they do that?
