 May: Excuse me? Do you have anything for a carsickness?

 

Guide: Yes, but you look fine.

 

May: Oh, it's for my brother. The little boy over there. He is getting a carsickness.

 

Guide: Poor boy! But don't worry. Here are two pills made in Germany. It's really effective. He will be just fine.

 

May: Thank you so much.

 

Guide: Take some with you next time, just in case.

 

(Arriving at the destination, May comes to see the guide again.)

 

May: Sorry to interrupt¹, but my brother is still sleeping.

 

Guide: You mean the boy who felt carsick just now?

 

May: Yes. It's so strange that he slept all the time after taking the pills.

 

Guide: Oh, sorry, maybe I gave you the wrong medicine.

 

May: What?

 

Guide: It's just sleeping pills made in America which is also very good. But don't worry. It has no undesirable² side-effects.
