Conversation 223 (Listen and Read)

Hey, Sam. I need to discuss tomorrow's hiking trip with you.

I was supposed to bring the gear, but I just found out some of it is missing.

I'll have to stop by the outdoor store in the morning to replace a few things.

No worries.

Tom mentioned he has extra gear, so we might be able to borrow some from him if needed.

That would be a lifesaver.

Do you think Tom would be able to lend me a backpack too?

Mine's one of the missing items.

I'm pretty sure he won't mind helping out,

but I'll give him a call to confirm.
