Accepting the offer

To the next lesson

The sentence both sides are waiting for: We accept your offer and look forward to working together.

On screen your supplier is wearing nappies because he fears a no (we), and you show him an axe and a sceptre (accept). The sceptre comes from a very young monarchy whose corridors always have the radio on (your), and the people there have their shirts open, all of them men (offer). While patrolling they change direction (and) as soon as they can look through a hatch (look) at a tree with four warts on it (forward). In front of it stands a man wrapped in a cloth (to) who wants to convince people with words and wears a small ring (working) – and when it does not work he takes the cloth and walks off down the tarred road (together).
