PROGRAM 25 “ A Day On the Farm”
INTRODUCTION TO ACT I
Today on TUNING IN THE U.S.A., Susan Stewart is taking a car trip with her friend Harry Bennett. Harry is an accountant, and today he has invited Susan to meet one of his favorite clients. As they talk about their jobs, they learn more about each other. Susan is an executive with a toy company. She likes her work, but there is one unpleasant thing about her job.

ACT I
Harry: I hope the rain stops.
Susan: It will, Harry. On a day like this, it just can’t rain.
Harry: you’re sweet, Susan. I’m really glad you came with me today.
Susan: I’m glad you asked me. I can’t wait to see Mr. Nordstrom’s farm. But where’s Route 28?
Harry: Don’t worry. I know the way, you can relax.
Susan: Have you been Mr. Nordstrom’s accountant for a long time?
Harry: I started dong the accounting work for the Nordstrom farm when it was a much smaller business. I was still in college.
Susan: That sounds a little like me. I sold toys in a store when I was in college.
Harry: Really? Did you ever think you would become an executive in a toy company?
Susan: Never. But I liked the idea of making products especially for children. Of course, being in the toy business doesn’t mean you spend a lot of time with children. Most days, I study drawings, read reports, attend meetings…
Harry: And you get ready for that next business trip.
Susan: That’s the one unpleasant part of my job. I’m on the road so much.
Harry: Oh, and here I am dragging you away on one of my business trips.
Susan: Wait a minute.
Harry: It was unfair of me to ask you to give up your day off, but I wanted you to keep me company.
