　　Conversation C

　　Tessa and Bill pause to catch their breath by the side of the river.

　　Bill: Fancy1 that! You've got a smile on your face. You sort of remind me of Bonhomme - the "happy man" - now!

　　Tessa: You mean the carnival ambassador? Now I can see why he and everyone else around here are grinning from ear to ear.

　　Bill: I'm glad you're enjoying yourself! It would have been a shame3 if you hadn't been able to warm up to the world's largest winter carnival.

　　Tessa: Actually, I was thinking we should cool down a bit...

　　Conversation D

　　Bill: Oh no - you don't mean ...

　　Tessa: The snow bath! Everyone strips off their winter clothes, puts on their swimsuits and rolls5 around in the snow!

　　Bill: I think I'd rather head over to the sugar shack for some maple taffy. Care to join me?

　　Tessa: I would... Right after my bath! Joyeux Carnival!
