Lazy Saturday

Elsie had enough of waking up early on Saturday mornings to go to gymnastics. This Saturday, she got to be lazy since there was no gymnastics.  She opened her kitchen cupboard  and she saw all the snacks in existence.

One day Annie found the time to go shopping and there she was! Sydney was right there in front of her. They both couldn't believe their eyes, but they were overjoyed.

"You have called us all here for a meeting, why?", questioned John curiously. "Two thousand people have moved into our country, but only seventy of them have filled in the correct forms.", responded Peter. "Why do you need us?", Andrew asked. "I heard that you both led congregations, so I figured that you could convince any newcomers in your congregation to fill them in, since there will be many people there. "But some things on those forms are unnecessary! John Exclaimed "Fine, I will have a conversation with the president about that.", Peter finally concluded.
