What would you bring to a desert island?
Dialogue
Emily: Yeah. He survived on the island by himself for a year.
Logan: I realized that TV show. Can you imagine living like that? What would you bring to a desert island?
Emily: Hmm. Good question, Logan. I would bring a magnifying glass.
Logan: A magnifying glass? What would you need to magnify?
Emily: I wouldn’t use it to look at things. I would use it to make a fire with the sunlight. I could cook food and keep warm.
Logan: Oh, I see. I didn’t think of that. That’s really smart.
Emily: Thanks. What would you bring to a desert island?
Logan: That’s easy. I would bring a book!
Emily: A book? Why? You can’t use a book to get food or water.
Logan: With a good book, I could use my imagination. I wouldn’t get bored at all. Also, books don’t need batteries.
Emily: Well, you’re right about that.
