Conversation A
Jonas and Juliana are walking home from school. Jonas looks sad.
Juliana: What’s wrong Jonas? You look a little under the weather.
Jonas: I’ve been under some stress1 lately. I have had a lot of homework. Plus, I haven’t been feeling well.
Juliana: You should relax. Learn to laugh in the face of stress, like Dr. Norman Cousins.
Jonas: I wish it were so easy. Besides, who’s Dr. Norman Cousins?
Juliana: He’s a famous doctor that recovered from a serious disease with the use of laughter.

Juliana: Well, he watched some comedies while he was in the hospital.
Jonas: And he recovered from his illness?
Juliana: Yeah, he even wrote some books about it.
Jonas: I guess laughter really is the best medicine.
