PART 3 · LESSON 24 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES
Dream On
The first boat-noodle night of the year at Uncle Boon's stall: this year I'll get up at five and run; sure, three days, like every year; and I'll stop eating noodles after ten; and what's that in your hand; the last bowl of last year; dream on, I don't believe it; I believe him, I'll run too; the Captain's being polite, that's sure with a smile: the ironic reply to a plan, and the little future word for a resolution.
