Helping the Homeless
Girl 1: Hi.
Whittaker: Hi, thanks for coming.
Girl 2: Hey, what's this all about, Whit?
Girl 3: I've been on pins and needles1 ever since church.
Whittaker: Ooo-hoo, well, I figured2 a little suspense3 might increase your interest. Whet your appetite4, so to speak5.
Girl 1: We're /having/ lunch?
Whittaker: No, and there are a lot of other people who won't today either.
Girl: 2: Huh?
Whittaker: You know how the pastor's6 been preaching7 about love and compassion8 over the last couple of Sundays?
Girls: Yeah?
Whittaker: Well, the elders decided that we need to extend9 that compassion to the homeless in our area. You know - those who don't have food or shelter. Now they've come up with10 an idea to make next week 'Compassion Week'-seven days of programs to help those in need11. I figured the young people of the church should, well, have a chance to help out12 too.
Girl 3: Help out?
Whittaker: Well, because of your particular talents, I thought the three of you might come up with an idea to help raise money, clothing or food for the homeless. What do you think?
Girl 1: Why not? I'll help.
Girl 2: Yeah, me too.
Girl 3: Me three.
Whittaker: Good. I knew I could count on13 you.
