Read the dialogue from a story. “Bro, lemme see your map for a sec,” Carlo said to Mason. “I gotta see if I can figure out if this guide even knows where he’s taking us.”

“Chill Carlo,” whispered Mason. “They aren’t going to let some random lead a bunch of kids around a museum. I’m sure he knows what’s up. Here, watch.”

“Excuse me, sir,” Mason addressed the guide. “We really enjoyed learning about the Egyptian pyramids. Can you please tell me which exhibit we will visit next?”

“Indeed, young man,” replied the guide. “We are on our way to the mummy exhibit, but we have to take the long way around because part of the museum is closed for construction.”

Mason shot Carlo a look and said under his breath “Toldja.”
