Jessica is going back to Holland next week. I've been thinking a lot about what to give her as a parting gift, but I still have no clue.
Is that the girl you spent almost every weekend with?
Yeah, that's her. We had a lot of wonderful times together. She is really a special friend, and I want to get her something meaningful.
I am not good at picking gifts. Maybe you can ask if there's anything she needs to make it easier?
I don't think so. That way it would lose all the charm. I want it to be a surprise. I want to show her that I care about her and I hope our friendship will last.
Yeah, that's nice.
Hmm, I think I've got an idea. Maybe I can get her an ever-green plant to take back home.
A plant? That's creative. I'm sure ever time she waters it she'll think of you. But there is a problem. Do you think it'll be able to get through the customs?
I hope so. I'll make sure to get a small one so she can put it into her suitcase. I hope it won't cause her trouble at the border.
I don't know. I think the idea of a plant going across borders with a friend is really exciting but maybe seeds would be safer. You don't want to get her in trouble.
