a lot of work to fix up Main Street—you know, to make it look nicer? Well, they're going to create a mural.
(Boy): You mean, like, make a painting on the entire wall of a building?
(Girl): Exactly!
(Boy): But where?
(Girl): It's that big wall on the side of the public library. And students from this school are going to do the whole thing ... create
a design, and paint it, and everything. I wish I could be a part of it, but I'm too busy.

seeing my artwork, every day.
(Girl): I thought you'd be interested. They want the mural to be about nature, so I guess all the design ideas students come up
with should have a nature theme.
(Boy): That makes sense—they've been planting so many trees and plants along the streets and in the park.
(Girl): If you're interested you should talk with Mr. Jennings.
(Boy): [half listening, daydreaming] This could be so much fun. Maybe I'll try to visit the zoo this weekend ... you know, to see
the wild animals and get some ideas, something to inspire me!
(Girl): [with humor] Well maybe you should go to the art room first to get more information from Mr. Jennings.
(Boy): [slightly sheepishly] Oh yeah. Good idea. Thanks for letting me know, Lisa! I'll go there right away.
