FEAR
Alice: Are you afraid of anything?
Tom: Yes. I’m afraid of elevators. Once, when I was a kid, I got stuck in an elevator.
Alice: So what do you do when you have to take an elevator?
Tom: I try to take the stairs! How about you?
Alice: I was afraid of insects when I was a kid.
Tom: How did you stop being afraid of insects?
Alice: When I was in college, I studied insects in a biology class. Now, I’m not afraid at all. In fact, I think insects are fascinating!
