(Carol talks to Jason on the phone.)
Carol: Hello, are you ready to come?
Jason: I’m sorry, but I can’t go today.
Carol: Why not? What happened?
Jason: You know, it started raining last night. It rained so hard that the water came into our house.
Carol: That’s too bad. Is everything fine?
Jason: Well, there’s water almost everywhere, and the house is very dirty now. Luckily, the rain has finally stopped. Now we have a lot of work to do. That’s why I can’t go out with you today.
Carol: It’s OK. I can understand. But I heard that we’ll have this bad weather for another week. That’s really strange for November!
