Eric, tell me the truth.
I’ll buy you a nice dinner.
And…? What else?
I’ll buy you some candy.

I’ll give you some beautiful flowers,
too.
Will you forgive me?
Oh, OK, I forgive you.
OK, OK, I broke it.

And that’s the truth.

Well, I can ride a bike.
That’s good. But can you swim?
I can play the piano.

Hey, maybe you can teach me!
Oh no. I wanted you to teach me.
I can’t swim, either.
