A drought has just set in and
the two people in the dialogue below are very concerned... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sally: |
I think a
drought has set in. It hasn't rained a drop for months. |
 |
|
Ethan: |
I think so, too, but didn't it
rain last month? |
|
|
Sally: |
It did rain last
month, but the rainfall was only half the monthly average. |
|
|
Ethan: |
Oh. That bad?! |
|
|
Sally: |
That's
right. It's really bad. I'm really concerned though not panicked yet. |
|
|
Ethan: |
I don't blame you. The
pastures have browned out even before the summer hasn't arrived. |
|
|
Sally: |
Yeah, and the
soil has been baked so hard that the plow can't even break the soil. |
|
|
Ethan: |
Looks like it's going to be an
ongoing thing that would get worse each day. |
|
|
Sally: |
Yeah. If
it doesn't rain, it's going to get critical. |
