Stepan’s mother: Sure, you can. Bye.
Vlad: Goodbye.
Half an hour later: Vlad: Hello, this is Vlad again. Has Stepan arrived?
Stepan’s mother: Yes, he has. Just a minute, I’ll ask him to pick up the
handset.
Stepan: Hi, Vlad, how are you, old boy?
Vlad:_Thank_you._Stepan'>Vlad: Not bad, thank you. Look, Stepan, I seem to have left my
textbook in Physics somewhere, and we are going to have a test
tomorrow. Haven’t you taken it by mistake?
Stepan: I must search for it in my bag, as I haven’t yet unpacked it. Wait
a moment, please ... No, there are only
my textbooks. Call Igor,
maybe he has taken it. By the way, he is not at home; he’s at his
grandmother’s.
Vlad: Yes, I am going to call him. What is his grandmother’s
phone number?
Stepan: 877392.
Vlad: Thank you.
Stepan: I am sorry I could not help.
Vlad: It is my fault. I should have been more attentive.
Stepan: Look, I am going to read for the test right now. If you don’t find
the book in an hour or so, then I may lend you mine.
Vlad: Thank you very much.
Stepan: That’s nothing! Good luck. Call me back anyway.
Vlad: Bye.
Vlad: Hello, this is Vlad Volkov. Can I speak to Igor?
Igor: Speaking. Hi, Vlad. Any problems?
Vlad: Well, I have left my textbook in Physics somewhere; I think
someone has taken it by mistake.
Igor: I think I might have taken it. We were sitting together on the
lesson of Physics. But my bag is not with me now. I have left it at
home just before going to my grandma. I promise I’ll search for it
the first thing when I return home.
