	(After a musical performance)
	Director:	What happened? That show was a disaster!
	Heather:	I am sorry, Mr. Lockley. I sang the last song badly.
	Director:	Last song!? Heather, you sang every song badly. I don't understand. You usually sing well.
	Heather:	Sorry, I forgot the words.
	Director:	You forgot the words and sang out of tune. And Bill, you usually dance gracefully, but today you danced clumsily!
	Heather:	I don't know what happened. I practiced a lot.
	Director:	I'll tell you what happened. In the first scene your shoe fell off. In the second scene, you tripped on your scarf. And in the third scene you fell in the orchestra!!
