Transcript

  1. Lena: Noah, did you add me to the science project chat?
  2. Noah: Yes, I added you ten minutes ago.
  3. Lena: I don't have a new message.
  4. Noah: That's strange. Is your username Lena Blue seventy-two?
  5. Lena: No. The number is twenty-seven, not seventy-two.
  6. Noah: Oh. I added the wrong Lena.
  7. Lena: What does her profile picture look like?
  8. Noah: It's a green cat wearing glasses.
  9. Lena: That definitely isn't me. My picture is an orange bicycle.
  10. Noah: Okay. Tell me your username again.
  11. Lena: It's Lena, underscore, Blue, two, seven.
  12. Noah: Is there a space after Lena?
  13. Lena: No space. There's an underscore.
  14. Noah: Let me try again. L-E-N-A, underscore, B-L-U-E, seven, two.
  15. Lena: You changed the numbers again!
  16. Noah: Sorry. Is it two, seven?
  17. Lena: Yes, two, seven.
  18. Noah: I found an account with an orange bicycle.
  19. Lena: Great. What is the full username?
  20. Noah: Lena, underscore, Blue, two, seven.
  21. Lena: That's me.
  22. Noah: I'm sending the invitation now.
  23. Lena: I have it. The chat is called 'Science Stars,' right?
  24. Noah: No, ours is called 'Science Starts.'
  25. Lena: 'Science Starts'? That sounds unusual.
  26. Noah: Wait. You're right. The group should be 'Science Stars.' I made another mistake.
  27. Lena: Noah, are you tired today?
  28. Noah: A little. I created two chats and added the wrong person.
  29. Lena: Let's check everything carefully. Who is in our group?
  30. Noah: You, me, Ava and Lucas.
  31. Lena: Good. What is our project?
  32. Noah: We're making a model of the solar system.
  33. Lena: And when is our meeting?
  34. Noah: Today at five thirty.
  35. Lena: Perfect. Now the information is correct.
  36. Noah: I'm deleting the other chat.
  37. Lena: First, tell the other Lena why she is in a science group.
  38. Noah: Good point. Maybe the green cat wants to learn about space.
