21. The metal box

While Natalie looks at Mariana’s comic book collection, she sees a metal box that catches her eye.

Natalie: What’s in that box?

Mariana Windsor: My most precious comic is in there. Do you want to see it?

Natalie: Yes, I would like to see it.

Mariana Windsor: Look….

Natalie: Oh! Is it very old?

Mariana Windsor: Yes, it’s more than a hundred years old. It’s from the United States. It’s called Little Nemo in Slumberland.

Natalie: What is it about?

Mariana Windsor: It’s about a boy who has strange dreams.

Natalie: Wow, I bet it’s expensive. How much did it cost?

Mariana Windsor: Umm…. I don’t know. I don’t remember.

Natalie: How come you don’t know? Did you buy it a long time ago?

Mariana Windsor: I think it’s time to go back to my father.
