I Like to Hike - 18a

 

 

“Would you like to go on a hike?” Mike asked.

 

“Who me? Where?"

 

"I like to hike!”  I said.

 

“You would go on a hike with me then?” Mike asked. 

 

“You’d go up to the top of the hill over there?"

 

 

 

“Will it take long to get there?”  I asked. 

 

“I’d like to go on a hike but it can not take too long.”

 

“You’ll go with me if it does not take long?” Mike asked.

 

“I’ll go with you but you’ll have to lead,” I said.

 

“You know where to go.  You’ll make a good leader,"  I said.

 

“But what if it rains?” I asked.

 

“If it rains on the hike we will come back down the hill,” Mike said. 

 

You’ll get wet and you’ll not like the hike,”  Mike said.

 

“You’d be too wet to like a hike when it rains.”  

 

 

 

“I hope it does not rain then,” I said. 

 

“You’d be right. I would not like it if it rains on me.”

 

“First you’ll have to have a bite to eat.  You have to eat before we go,” Mike said. 

 

“You’ll need a bite to eat too,” I said. 

 

“You’d have to eat well to make it to the top of the hill.  You and I have to eat well first to hike to the top!” I said.

 

 

 

“I like to eat before I hike,” Mike said.  “You are right!”. 

 

“I will go and make us a bite to eat and then you and I will go on a hike!” I said. 

 

“I do not think it will rain,” Mike said. “You’ll like this hike!”

 

“You’d be right!”  I said.
