Jeffrey |
What has happened to Adam ? I haven't seen him for awhile. |
Samuel |
He was caught playing truant and smoking in the school premises. Apparently, he
picked up the habit when he fell in with the wrong crowd in school. |
Jeffrey |
No wonder he hasn't been coming to school regularly. Has he been suspended ? |
Samuel |
Yes, for two weeks. I met his father yesterday. He was quiet
cut up about his son's behavior. |
Jeffrey |
This is unfortunate. Adam used to be a good student. We must help him when he
returns. |
Samuel |
Yes, we must. |
