Script about Making Friends with an Elderly Person
at a Bus Stop:
John: Hello. My name is John. I see you here every
day. You sit here, alone. I don’t know you, but because I always see you here,
I know your face.
Woman: Oh, hello. How nice of you to say hello.
Every day I sit here and watch the people. I don’t ride the bus, I just want to
see all the people.
John: Do you live with your family? Do you live
near here?
Woman: My family lives far from here. I only see them
once a week. They visit me here. I have an apartment in this city, but I feel
lonely during the week so I come here. I bring a cup of coffee and a sandwich,
two cookies and a candy.
John: Why don’t you go to a club to meet your
friends or other people?
Woman: No, I like to be here. I drink my coffee,
and eat my sandwich. After that I eat my cookies. When I finish the cookies I
know that it is time to go home. On the way back to my apartment, I suck on the
candy.
John: I think you are wonderful. What a nice idea
you have. But, if you feel lonely you should go to the club at the park. They
have a nice clubhouse and you can meet friends. You can talk and tell them
about your life and what you do every day.
Woman: You are sweet. Thank you. It is nice to know
that someone young thinks of someone old, like me. Well, I have no more cookies
now, so, I am going. Bye John.
John: Goodbye. Maybe I will see you tomorrow.
