Catherine:
[Reading a magazine]
If you would like to donate money to someone, to whom would you do so? Would it be a beggar or an institute? Marguerite: A beggar. Catherine: According to your answer, you're as naive as i am. At least it's not accepted by the school. Marguerite: Is this a kind of question they would ask? Catherine: It's the only way to eliminate the kids from abroad. Too many kids, not so many schools... Oh my God, i'm gonna be late! See more » |
