"A Noise Next  Door"
 
A:   What were you doing last night?
 
B:   Why do you ask?
 
A:   I heard a noise coming from your  apartment.  Something was moving...something was  bouncing...were you playing  basketball in your bedroom?

B:   Not me.  I was watching tv, as usual. I was
reading,  eating popcorn and watching the Shopping Channel.
 
A:   Then who was making a  noise?

B:   Maybe it was John, your next door neighbor on the
  other side. He has a basketball game on Saturday.  Maybe he was practicing for it.
 
A:  I was going crazy.  I was studying  for a big test and the noise was really disturbing me.

B:   I understand.  Next time you  should shout out loud, "Hey, stop that noise!" and maybe the noise will  stop.

A:  Good idea.  Well, I was feeling  angry, but now I am happy again. Thanks for the advice.

B:  You're welcome.  Good luck for  your test, by the way.

A:  Thanks.
