Noelia: Morning, Bob.
Bob: Oh, good morning.
Noelia: It's so rainy today. The weather in this country is horrible!
Bob: Yes … yes … The weather was even worse when I lived in Canada.
Noelia: Oh, I didn't know that you lived in Canada, Bob. How cool!
Bob: One winter it was so cold and windy that I fell on the ice and broke my leg in three places.
Noelia: Oh no! You're joking!
Bob: I wish I was, Noelia, I wish I was. I was never the same after that winter. And my leg is still bad today.
Noelia: Really? I'm sorry to hear that. Poor you.
Bob: But it's not all bad. I met my wife in the hospital. She was the doctor who looked at my leg!
Noelia: No way!
Bob: It was love at first sight!

Yes, I broke my leg once when I was a child maybe around five or six year old .we were returning from our village to the city ,and I was on a bike with my uncle and aunt. It was a narrow, one-way road and there were three of us riding on the same bike .My uncle was driving very carefully but suddenly a cow appeared in the middle of road. We lost control and fell off the bike.
