Barry: hey Larry~ It's great to see you here!
Larry: Oh, hi Barry~ What's up with you lately?
Barry: I have been quite busy working around the house.
Larry: Oh yeah? I hope everything's going smoothly.
Barry: Well, actually, could you give me a hand this weekend?
Larry: Is it to do with your house?
Barry: Yes, landscaping my yard.
Larry: That sounds like a big job.
Barry: It might be, it depends on how I decide to do it.
Larry: You don’t know yet?
Barry: I can’t make up my mind. I’m vacillating between desert land-scape with cacti or lush green grawith lots of flowers. What do you think it should be?
Larry: Well, a desert landscape has a lot lemaintenance, but nothing beats a nice green lawn.
Barry: Thus my dilemma. What would you do?
Larry: Let me ask you this- how much time will you spend out there.
Barry: With my schedule, probably not much.
Larry: Then I would go with the desert. Keeping up a gralawn is a lot of work.
Barry: Yea, I think you are right.
Larry: Ok then, I'll see you this weekend.

B：Why do you say that? Everyone thinks that you have a wonderful wife.
A：Oh, no. Years ago, when we were poor, we had to do our best to make ends meet. It was a hard time, but we were happier then.
B：Now you are quite rich, aren’t you?
A：Yes, but we are always squabbling(爭論)about unimportant things.
B：That sounds like everyday married life to me.
