The new farmer Juan walks around Guillermo’s chicken farm and knocks on the door.

Juan: –Hello!

""

Guillermo: –Hi! What’s your name? What’s happening?

Juan: –My name is Juan. I’m new in town and I’m trying to start a farm here, but I don’t have any money or animals.

Guillermo: –Nice to meet you! My name is Guillermo. Come to my farm tomorrow at five in the afternoon because I want to introduce you to some female farmers from the region.

Juan: –Very well. See you!

The new farmer Juan walks back to his farm.

Chicken farmer Guillermo telephoned Carolina and Alejandra, two cat-farming sisters.

Guillermo: –Hello, girls!

The sisters respond: –Hello Guillermo!

Guillermo: –Can you come to my farm today at five in the afternoon to talk to me and María?

The sisters say: –Yes, Of course!

Guillermo: –Could you call María to invite her, please?

The sisters say: –Yes, see you soon then!

Guillermo: –See you!

The sisters Carolina and Alejandra telephoned María, another female farmer and owner of the cow farm.

The sisters greet: –Hello María! How are you?

María: –Hi Carolina! Hi Alejandra! I’m very well! And you?

The sisters say: –Well, thank you! Can you go to Guillermo’s farm today at five in the afternoon to talk to us and Guillermo?

María: –Yes, see you later!

The sisters end the call after a –goodbye–.

The cat farmer sisters Carolina and Alejandra along with the cow farmer María meet at Guillermo’s chicken farm.

Guillermo begins the meeting: –Thanks for coming, friends. We have a new farmer in town who needs help building his farm. His name is Juan.

Carolina says: –We can help Juan by lending him a couple of our cats.

""Alejandra confirms her sister’s comment:

–Yes! We have an orange female cat and a black cat that we could lend him.

María raises her hand and says: –I can also help Juan with a bull and a cow from my farm.

Guillermo says: –Very good! So, see you tomorrow at the same time and in this same place?

The female farmers say: –Sure, see you tomorrow!

After saying goodbye to Guillermo, the farmers go home.

The next day, the farmers Carolina and Alejandra arrive with their cats. María arrives with a bull and a cow. They all go to Guillermo’s farm who has a hen with chicks for Juan.

Guillermo: –Welcome!

The female farmers: –Thanks for inviting us Guillermo!

Juan also arrives at Guillermo’s house.

Guillermo begins: –Welcome Juan! I want to introduce you to Alejandra, Carolina and María.

Juan greets them, shakes their hands and says:

–Hello! Nice to meet you all!

Alexandra: –My pleasure!

Carolina: –Nice meeting you!

María: –Likewise! How’s it going?

Juan: –Not very well because I don’t have many ideas about how to have a farm.

María: –We understand Juan! That’s why here are some of our animals.

Juan is surprised.""

Alejandra: –This way you can start your farm!

Carolina: –Here you have an orange female cat and a black cat.

María: –Here you have a bull and a cow from my farm!

Guillermo: –Here are some chickens from my farm!

Juan: –Friends, how incredible! Thank you very much!

Guillermo and the farm girls walk to Juan’s farm to start working together and help their new farmer friend.
