Choosing a Present. Hobbies
Stepan:
Hello, old boy. How are things?
Ilya:
Not bad, thank you. Look, Stepan, has Vlad invited you to his
birthday party?
Stepan:
Yes, he has. And why are you asking?
Ilya:
The matter is that he has invited me as well, and I am now thinking
about a present for him. It is always a difficult issue, isn’t it?
Stepan:
I don’t think that it is such a great problem.
Ilya:
Well, of course, you are going to give him a book in fantasy. Both
of you know everything about this sort of thing.
Stepan:
Actually not. You see, there is hardly a book in fiction he hasn’t
read. What I am really thinking about is a photo album. So far as I
know, he is fond of taking pictures and has a rather good camera.
It’s not a bad present, is it?
Ilya:
You see, just a month ago we went shopping together and he
bought a large album.
Stepan:
Thank you for telling me this thing. I didn’t know that.
Ilya:
Besides, I think it is not a good present for a close friend. I mean
you can give such a thing to a fellow whom you don’t know very
well. I know Vlad well enough to give him something that he will
really like. We have been friends with Vlad for quite a long time
to learn a thing or two about his tastes, haven’t we?
