Question
Summer Swimming
Vanessa and her friends like to spend
their summers at the public pool at Fairview
Park. One day, Vanessa arrived at the pool
to find that her friends Denise and Sondra
were not there. Vanessa was very upset
that they had not bothered to call the night
before to tell her that they would not be at
the pool.
As she was about to leave, she saw
Rudy, a girl she had been lab partners with
all semester, but with whom she had never
really been friends. Rudy asked Vanessa to
stay. Vanessa accepted her invitation,
despite the fact that she assumed that they
would not have much fun together. She
assumed incorrectly. Vanessa and Rudy
ended up having a lot of fun. Denise and
Sondra eventually showed up at the pool,
but, by then, Vanessa was having such a
good time with Rudy that she had
completely forgotten that they had not been
there at the usual meeting time.
