Lesson 7 Susan Hires Bob To Run Her Business
Susan stays up all night thinking about her cookie business.
In the morning, she discusses it with Bob. Bob agrees to work for her.
Bob:You're up bright and early this morning, Susan.
Susan:I did not sleep a wink! I was awake all night thinking about the new business.
Bob:Running your own business is lots of work. Are you prepared to work like a dog?
Susan:No, But I am prepared to hire you to run the business.
Bob:You want me to run the cookie business? Fat chance!
Susan:Why not?
Bob:I do not have a clue about making cookies. I do not even know how to turn the oven on.
Susan:I'll give you a crush course.
Bob:Do I have to do the baking?
Susan:No, you'll just manage the business side.
Bob:Needless to say, I have mixed feeling about working for you.
Susan:I'll be nice. I promise you'll be a happy camper.
Bob:Okay. Let's give it a shot, boss!
