Agent: Can I help you?
Visitor: We would like to make an exciting journey. We want to see life.
Agent: Have you ever been to Brighton?
Visitor: No, but we want a more exciting holiday.
Agent: Have you ever been to the Sahara Desert?
Visitor: No, we haven’t.
Agent: Then this is a holiday for you, a month in the middle of the Sahara Desert.
Visitor: Is it interesting?
Agent: Yes, there are sandstorms every day and snakes everywhere. Have you ever been bitten by the dangerous snake?
Visitor: Well, well, thank you, but the journey is too expensive. Have
you got a cheaper one?
Agent: But it’s such a rare chance to have an unusual experience! Well, how about the Arctic Ocean? We can give you a fortnight in a small boat with a hole in the bottom of it to make the journey more exciting. And you’ll have food only for a few days.
Visitor: A few days. You said the holiday is for the fortnight!
Agent: But isn’t it thrilling?
Visitor: Have you got anything not so exciting?
Agent: Oh yes, let me see. This is … holiday to remember. We’ll drop you in the middle of the Amazon jungle by a parachute with a map of the London underground.
Visitor: I don’t think I like the idea. It’s so frightening!
Agent: But very, very exciting!
Visitor: Have you got something not so far from home?
Agent: Well, what about two weeks in Brighton, staying in a nice quiet hotel by the sea?
Visitor: It’s a good idea.
Agent: And it is a pretty exciting one, isn’t it? No snakes, no jungles, enough food.
Visitor: Yes, we’ll take it!
