　　“I want a mobile phone!” said Lisa. “I’m sure you do,” said her dad.

　　“No, Dad. You don’t understand. I really, really, really want a mobile phone.” “And I really, really, really want a boat. It’s not going to happen.”

　　Lisa and her dad were stuck in traffic. It seemed that it’s always the case. When he took her to school in the morning — traffic. When he picked her up in the afternoon — traffic. Go to the supermarket, a birthday party, and what felt like ten hours of traffic was what they got.

　　Lisa was bored. When she was bored, she wanted things. Right now, she wanted a mobile phone. She wasn’t sure if her dad understood that. She would have to tell him again.

　　“I WANT A MOBILE PHONE.” “NO.”

　　“What if I got stuck in a cave?”

　　“What?” asked her dad, trying not to laugh.

　　“What if I had a dog and the dog ran away, and I had to run after it. What if the dog ran into a cave, and I ran after the dog. In the cave there was a bear, and the bear trapped me, and …”

　　“And then you were stuck in the cave.”

　　“Yes. It’s a mother bear. She will eat me unless I have a mobile phone to call for help.”

　　“If it’s a mother bear, you can use her phone. Everyone knows mums always carry phones.” Dad was laughing as he said this. Lisa didn’t think it was very funny. Now she was angry. “If I had a mobile phone, I could play games on it!”

　　“If I had a boat, I could eat beef on it. That doesn’t mean I’m getting  one.”

　　“No, but I mean if I could play games, I wouldn’t be so bored when we were in traffic. I wouldn’t trouble you!”

　　“I don’t mind being troubled. I like talking to you.” “Then I won’t say anything at all!”

　　Dad smiled quietly to himself. “I’m going to call Mum to let her know we’ll be late.” He reached into his pocket. “Oh! My battery’s dead.”

　　“You know…if I had a mobile phone, I could call Mum,” said Lisa. “Nice try.”

　　Lisa smiled. She wasn’t getting a phone, but she knew she was right, and that was almost as good.
