Scene: Wesley Lake on the Ocean Grove side, near the western-most bridge. This location often has shore birds of various kinds. Two people are separately walking their dogs–a man and a woman. They were watching some geese in the water.
He: Interesting to watch the birds.
She: How sad….I recently found an abandoned goose egg. I felt bad.
He: Listening
She: (after a short delay) I felt bad…..but I didn’t know what to do.
He: (joking) Couldn’t you have taken it home and sat on it for awhile?
She: (seriously) Oh, but I’m far too busy for that.
Then they both continue their separate walks.
