Cherise: Rise and shine! Isn’t it a lovely day? I love getting back to nature. There’s nothing like going camping. How did you sleep?
Evan: That was the most miserable night of my life!
Cherise: Really? What happened?
Evan: I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I heard a bear. I got up, stubbed my toe, and tripped. I have scratches all over my arms, not to mention these bruises on my legs. See?
Cherise: Oh, don’t you know that there aren’t any bears this late in the year?
Evan: How should I have known that? This was my first time camping.
Cherise: All right. Why are you holding your neck like that?
Evan: I couldn’t get comfortable at all sleeping on the ground. I woke up with a crick in my neck.
Cherise: Stop moving around like that or you’ll really hurt yourself.
Evan: Oh, I have a cramp in my shoulder! It hurts!
Cherise: I told you not to twist around like that. Just let it work itself out.
Evan: All of this had to happen to me after getting a stitch in my side and a charley horse hiking five miles yesterday. I’ve had it! I’m going back to civilization.
Cherise: How are you getting there?
Evan: What do you mean? I’m walking.
Cherise: Without food or water? You’d better wait for me or you may end up bear bait after all!
