7 "Hey pop, can I have some money?" asked Dana, "the Electric Ear Splitters are giving a concert here in town next week and I really want to hear it." His father put town the television listings, turned off the TV, and firmly declined. "But that's my favorite group," protested Dana. "I wanna buy tickets real fast so I can hear them perform as soon as possible." "If that's what's most important to you," replied the father, "then you won't need any tickets." Explain. The father had noticed the planned live concert and noticed it was also to be on television. Microphones would be a few feet from the performers and would capture the sound for television transmission
8 A man called the woman he loves and she cursed at him and hung up angrily. Why was he happy? She was married to another man. And he suggested the she pretend he was an obnoxious telephone salesman if he called while her husband might overhear. His ruse apparently worked and he was pleased.
9 A man locked his son out of the house. The son thanked him. Explain The son, in his late teens, was spoiled and idle. The father correctly inferred that evicting him and forcing him to earn his own way would benefit him, however unpleasant it would be at first. When the son found a job and had worked at it for a while, he understood how his father's actions had made his life more respectable and constructive, therefore he thanked his father.
