    Masu : Hi, how are you?
    Mosi: Very well, thanks!
    Masu: Can I see what you’re doing?
    Mosi : Certainly!
    Masu : Great, my name is Masu.
    Mosi : My name is Mosi. The boy riding a bike is my young brother, Linus.
    Masu: Is he learning how to ride?
    Mosi: No, he is already a good rider, I coached him. He is competing in bicycle competitions in the next month.
    Masu: I see, but what are you doing with that small clock?
    Mosi: It is not a clock, it’s a stopwatch. I am timing how long he takes to ride one lap. Just watch as he finishes a lap. Linus, 28 sec? You’re slowing down, speed up!
    Linus: I am getting tired sis!
    Mosi: Try to ride faster for 24 seconds on the next lap!
    Masu: I can see you are pushing him hard.
    Mosi: Yes, this is the only way to train him. He has to go for the zonal race; 'no pain no gain' remember?
    Masu: I also have a bicycle I like riding, but I don’t think I can train to compete.
    Mosi: Well, we are not always just training. We also play here at Mrembeni Children Park. Would you care to join us?
    Masu: Thanks, that would be great! I am new in town and so I don’t have many friends yet.
