What John was saying was true. But don't other people feel bad when there is nothing for
them to do, or at least they think there is nothing?
Yes, I think so. Usually these people are wasting their time or choose to listen to the radio
or watch television.
And these people are very happy when friends come to visit them so they can talk about
the news or whatever is worth talking about.
Wouldn't it be difficult to say which of these is the better way of spending time?
Well, it's hard to say. We are always ready to say that we are doing things the right way
and other people are not.
But how can we be sure?
It is a good thing that we are all different.
John! Clever people say time is an important thing in our lives.
Of course. To do the things we have to do we need time.
When there is too little time we cannot do things as well as we want to do them.
Yes, but there are people who always know what to do with the time.
You are so right.They go for a walk or read a book or make all kinds of things that are
useful or beautiful.
Sometimes they sell these things, which is their way of showing that time is really money.
