              I'm thinking of going on a                   I  may  not  be able  to
              trip this year. The time has                 convince  my  father. He
              come. I think my parents                     does  not  believe  in  boys
              will allow me to go.
                                                           staying away  from home
                                                           for several  days. We’re
                                                           going on a  family  trip,
                                                           instead.


















                                               I intend to go. My parents will most
                                               likely  to let me go.  I’m  thinking of
                                               asking  Lakpa’s  father  if  he would
                                               allow him to go with us.
