John：Hey, Kate, why weren’t you at the school basketball competition yesterday? I called you so many times,but you didn’t answer.

Kate：Sorry, John. I left my phone at home.

John：What were you doing at the time of the competition?

Kate：Well, I left my house late and when the competition started, I was still making my way to school.

John：Then what happened?

Kate：When I got to the bus stop, I realized that my bag was still at home!

John：But why didn’t you just go home to get your bag?

Kate：I did, but while I was running back home, I saw a dog by the side of the road and it was hurt.

John：Oh, so I’m sure you helped the dog. I know how much you love animals.

Kate：Yes, I wanted to call the Animal Helpline, but I didn’t have my phone so I had to wait for someone to walk by. Then I used his phone to call the helpline.

John：OK. No wonder you didn’t make it to the competition.

Kate：Yes, I’m so sorry I wasn’t there to cheer you on, but I’m happy that your team won!
