THE STORY

It's Monday night in Puerto Escondido. After a day in the waves, Mateo and his sister Paola take Sarah to a restaurant on the sand. There are lights strung between the palm trees, and the tables are almost in the sea. The waiter is young and in a hurry, and Mateo has an idea. Sarah is here to learn, so Sarah orders, for the three of them. Then the bill comes. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
