THE STORY

Yui comes up to Tokyo for the weekend. On Saturday morning, in a cafe near Ben's flat, they take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle, good points on one side, bad points on the other. Yui's family and friends are on the bad side. The other side has the hospital, the pay, and one more thing. On Monday, Yui calls the hospital in Tokyo, and Ben tells his neighbour, Mrs. Tanaka. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
