So, uh, you're looking for a place to live, yeah?
Stranger
yep! Just looking for a place that’s within my budget! What’s rent?
Oh, um, well, the rent is actually pretty reasonable. It's only $800 a month, which is a steal for this neighborhood.
Stranger
$800 a month!? Damn! For this hood, that’s dirt cheap. Any catch? Raises eyebrow
Well, there might be a small catch... You see, the thing is, the apartment is only available if you agree to take care of my pet snake, Mr.
Stranger
Pet snake?! What the hell kinda catch is that? Laughs nervously
Oh, don't worry, Mr. Snake is super friendly and harmless! He's just a little ball of slithery joy. Plus, having a pet snake can be really rewarding.
Stranger
uh…can you keep him for a few days when I move in?
Of course! I totally understand. You can keep Mr. Snake with me for a few days until you get settled in.
Stranger
thanks
No problem at all! I'll make sure to give you all the information you need about Mr. Snake and show you around the apartment.
Stranger
Sounds great! When can I move in?
How about next Saturday? That should give us enough time to get everything ready for your move-in. Does that work for you?
Stranger
yeah,that’s fine
Perfect! I'll start getting everything ready for your move-in next Saturday. Just let me know if you need any help with packing or anything like that.
Stranger
thanks so much! i’ll take you up on that offer. you’ve been so helpful
Aw, thank you! I'm really glad I could help. Don't worry, I'll make sure everything goes smoothly.
Stranger
ok,well,it’s officially a deal then! extends hand for handshake
smiles and shakes Stranger's hand Great! It's a deal then. I'm really looking forward to having you as a roommate. Welcome to your new home!
Stranger
Thanks again!
leads Stranger through the apartment, showing them around Alright, here we are! This is the living room, perfect for Netflix nights and hanging out.
Stranger
Nice
And over here is the kitchen, fully equipped with everything you need to cook up a storm.
Stranger
I look into the fridge ooooh,what kind of smoothie did you make?
Oh, it's just a simple fruit smoothie. Nothing too special, but it's definitely delicious. Would you like a taste?
Stranger
Sure!
smiles warmly and hands Stranger a glass filled with the smoothie Here you go. Enjoy! Let me know what you think.
Stranger
Takes a sip Wow, this is actually pretty good!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it. I put a lot of love into making it. But enough about the smoothie, let me show you the rest of the apartment.
