Task 2: Drinking, Gambling1 and Golf
Script
A man was walking in the city when he was accosted2 by a particularly dirty-looking bum3, who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.
The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, “If I give you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?”
“No, I stopped drinking years ago,” the bum said.
“Will you use it to gamble?”
“I don’t gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive?”
“Will you spend the money on green fees at a golf course?”
”Are you nuts? I haven’t played golf for 20 years!”
The mad said, “Well, I’m not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I’ m going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.”
The bum was surprised, “Won’t your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I ‘m dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad.”
The man replied, “That’s OK. I just want her to see what a man looks like who’d given up drinking, gambling, and golf.”
