130 An Inch Given，a Mile Taken
Karen calls the manager for a dog day off.
（K=Karen； M=manager）
K： Hello， Mr.Fu？
M： Yes. This is he.
K： Uh…… I'm calling to ask for a day off.
M： What's the matter？ Are you sick again？
K： No. Um……actually it's my dog. I think it's that time of the month. I've got to take her to the vet.
M： I guess it's OK. But I didn't know dogs had periods.
K： They sure do. By the way， if she gets pregnant， do I get two months off？
M： Do you want permanent leave？
K： Uh……what do you mean？
