A meteorite crashed into an office in downtown Franklin. Kevin Jenson witnessed this rare event. Kevin, what were you doing when you saw the meteorite fall?
I had just gone into the bathroom.
What time was that?
Just before lunch time. Suddenly I saw this bright fireball coming through the bathroom window.
Did you see it land?
Yes, right into the sink. It was a tiny fireball.
What did you do then?
I turned on the water and put out the fire.
(turn on ⇔ turn off)
Good thinking!
That reminds me, I have an idea for a movie. It would be called "It Came in Through the Bathroom Window."
Thanks, Kevin. Good luck.

Mr. Taketori, did you have any inkling this meteorite crashed on your land?
(inkling = a feeling that something is true or likely to happen, although you are not certain)
I thought there was a strong possibility it had because I saw the whole bamboo bush shine brightly.
That must have been shocking.
Yeah. And a couple of minutes later, in the bush, I found this gold bamboo tree and this baby sitting inside.
Experts have confirmed that it's a human baby girl.
Right. Here, hold her.
Oh, my! She must weigh a good three kilograms.
Yes.
Does she have a name?
Yes. Since we found her in a bamboo, we named her "Takeko."
Wonderful!

That story sounds familiar.
Sounds very familiar.
Yes.
The original story must be a good seven or eight hundred years old.
Maybe even older.
Wow!
Maybe.

Betty Parker happened to find a fossil of a very small dinosaur today. Tell us where you found it, Betty.
(dinosaur = a large frightening animal that lived a very long time ago but is now extinct [=all of them died] someone or something that is very old-fashioned and no longer useful or effective)
It was in a park in my neighborhood.
How did you feel when you saw it?
I was petrified! Ha ha ha! Just kidding. It was a cute little fossil.
(petrified = afraid, extremely frightened, especially so that you cannot move or decide what to do)
So, who did you call?
Ghost Busters! Just kidding. I called my school for my science teacher
That was smart.
Mr. Jones suspects its 70 million years old.
What a little, big dinosaur!
Yeah, you're right.
Is your teacher Mr. Indiana Jones by any chance?
No, my teacher is Minnesota Jones. Indiana Jones is in a different department.

Well, how did you feel when you saw it?
I thought it was fun and funny.
I felt great. It made me laugh a lot.
Yeah.
Did you see it, Ken?
I did.
How did YOU feel when you saw it?
Well, I thought it was a very well-written comedy and I really wanted to call those Ghost Busters to talk to them.
Immediately.
Yeah, immediately, right.
