Mr. Chen |
What excuse do you have this time ? |
Wilkins |
Besides my schoolwork I've been helping my father in his sundry
shop. I've really been burning the candle at both ends.
That's why I can't wake up in the morning. |
Mr. Chen |
I sympathize with your situation but you
can't go on this way. |
Wilkins |
I'll cut down on the time I spend
helping my father. I promise I'll never be late again. |
