Daniel: What a beautiful day!

Dad: The weather is so crazy. It rained cats and dogs last night, but cleared up in the morning.

Daniel: I was worried about canceling the climbing.

Dad: Honey, wait for me. I am too tired to move a step further.

Daniel: What about taking the cable car?

Dad: Attaboy, that's just what I am thinking.

Daniel: Wow, What a long queue this is!

Dad: Honey, be patient. It's better to wait than to climb with my legs broken.

(After a few minutes, they get into the cable car.)

Daniel: Daddy, look ahead in the distance, the mountains there. They roll all the way up to the sky.

Dad: Yeah, the scenery is beautiful. What's more, the air is fresh here?

Daniel: So you wanna stay here?

Dad: Of course not, I have to watch my American Idol.
