Hey there.
What can I get for you folks?

Thanks, Grandma.
Yeah, thank you, Grandma.
I can't wait to taste the rainbow.
You're both welcome, my dears.
Here, have a bite of my blue raspberry.
It's so fluffy and sweet.
And Grandma, try some of my rainbow cotton candy, too.
It's like tasting a bunch of different flavors at once.
That's so yummy.
Thank you both for sharing.
You two are the best.
I'm so happy we got cotton candy today.
It's the best treat ever.
Yeah, and it's even better when we share it with grandma.
Ah, you two are so thoughtful.
I'm glad we could have this sweet moment together.
Lost child.
Hey there, are you okay?
What's wrong?
Are you lost?
Yes, I'm lost.
I can't find my mommy.
Don't worry, we'll find her together.
What's your name?
My name is Lily.
Well Lily, I'm Alex.
Let's go look for your mom, shall we?
Now, where were you when you got lost?
What were you doing?
I was chasing butterflies.
My mom was sitting on a bench near a big fountain, talking on the phone.
That sounds like quite an adventure.
Let's retrace your steps and find your mom.
I'm here to help.
Lily, do you recognize any landmarks from when you were chasing butterflies?
Yes.
I remember that big tree in the fountain with the colorful fish.
My mom was sitting right there.
But she's not here anymore.
Where's my mommy?
Don't panic.
I'm sure she's looking for you right now.
Let's wait here for a while.
Maybe she'll come back to this place.
Oh, look!
There's Mommy right there!
Lily!
Oh my goodness, Lily!
Mommy, I'm sorry I got lost.
Alex has been helping me find you.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for helping my daughter.
I was so worried.
I'm just glad she's safe and sound.
Lily was quite the adventurer, chasing butterflies and all.
She's a brave girl.
She is.
I can't thank you enough for helping her.
I was so engrossed in my phone call, I didn't realize she had wandered off.
It's easy to get caught up in things.
I'm just glad I could help reunite you two.
The park is a big place.
You're a hero in Lily's eyes and in mine too.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It was my pleasure.
Just doing what anyone would do in that situation.
Take care of each other and keep exploring together.
Lily has a real sense of adventure.
We will.
Thank you again.
Helping someone in need.
Oh no.
Are you okay?
I saw you tripping over that obstacle.
I'm stuck.
I can't move the wheelchair anymore.
Let me help you.
There you go.
Thanks a lot.
That's very kind of you.
Now, where do you need to go?
I need to go to the pharmacy.
which is on the other side of the street.
That's across a busy street.
Do you usually cross it by yourself?
No, I usually have someone with me, but today I'm all by myself.
I'm still getting used to using the wheelchair.
I got it recently after an accident.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Do you need any help crossing the street?
That would be incredibly helpful.
I'm not very familiar with operating the wheelchair independently yet.
I'll help you.
We'll get you to the pharmacy in no time.
Thank you for helping me cross.
I really appreciate it.
Of course I couldn't just leave you stranded.
Let me take you to the pharmacy now.
I'm Sarah, by the way.
And I'm Tom.
It's very nice to meet you, Sarah.
Likewise, Tom.
Here we are, the pharmacy.
I couldn't have made it here without you.
I just need to pick up my prescription from here.
Thank you for assisting me.
You're a true lifesaver.
It was my pleasure.
Just happy to lend a hand.
You know, after the accident, I've been struggling to adjust to this new way of life.
But your kindness has really made a difference.
You're doing great, Tom.
It's OK to ask for help when you need it.
We all need a helping hand sometimes.
You're right.
Thank you for reminding me of that.
Crossing the street on a red light
Hey, watch where you're going!
Can't you see it's red?
Sorry, I didn't notice.
Excuse me, young man.
Can I have a word with you?
Uh, sure, officer.
What's going on?
You just crossed the street on a red light, causing that driver to slam on the brakes.
You put yourself and others at risk.
That's a violation of traffic laws.
Oh, I'm really sorry, officer.
I didn't mean to cause any trouble.
I didn't realize the light had turned red.
Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
You need to pay attention to traffic signals for your safety and the safety of others on the road.
I understand, officer.
I'll be more careful next time.
I'm afraid I still have to issue you a citation for crossing the street on a red light.
Please provide me with your identification.
Here's your ticket, Mike.
This fine will need to be paid within 30 days to the traffic department.
All right, officer.
I'll make sure to take care of this right away.
Good.
I hope this serves as a reminder for you to obey traffic laws in the future.
Absolutely officer.
I've learned my lesson.
All right, then stay safe out there.
Have a good day Thank you officer you too Neighborhood chitchat
Oh, hey, Tom.
How are you and Max doing today?
Hi, Lily.
We're doing great, thanks.
How about you and Luna?
We're good, too.
Did you hear about the new neighbor that just moved in across the street?
Oh, yeah.
I saw the moving truck yesterday.
Have you met them yet?
Not yet, but I heard they're a young couple with a cute dog.
I'm looking forward to getting to know them.
That's nice.
It'll be good to have more friendly faces in the neighborhood.
Definitely.
And speaking of new additions, have you checked out the new convenience store that just opened on the corner?
Oh, yes.
I stopped by there yesterday to grab some milk.
It's so convenient having it close by.
Have you been there yet?
Not yet, but I plan to go later today.
It's nice to have more options within walking distance.
For sure.
And hey, have you heard about the musical festival that will be held in the park next month?
Yes, I did.
I'm so excited.
I heard there will be local bands performing and food trucks too.
It's going to be a great community event.
I can't wait to bring Max and have a picnic with the neighbors.
That sounds like a wonderful plan.
I'll bring Luna too, and we can all enjoy the music together.
Absolutely.
It's events like these that make living in our neighborhood so special.
I agree.
We have such a close-knit community here, and it's nice to see everyone come together for fun activities.
Hey, I heard there's going to be a neighborhood cleanup event next week.
It's organized by the local community center.
That's fantastic.
It's important to keep our streets clean and our neighborhood looking beautiful.
Absolutely.
I'm planning to volunteer for the cleanup.
It's a small way to give back to our community.
That's wonderful to hear, Lily.
I'm going to volunteer too.
Really?
That's amazing.
Well, it's always a pleasure catching up with you.
Likewise, Lily.
Let's catch up again soon.

Ooh, the smell from that food stall is making my mouth water.
Let's check it out, Paul.
Yeah, that sounds good.
Let's go.
Hey there, folks.
Good to see some hungry customers.
What can I get for you today?
I'll take a portion of nachos, please, with extra cheese, jalapenos, and a dollop of sour cream on top.
Got it.
And for you?
I'd like a beef taco, please.
Can I have it with extra guacamole, hot sauce, and lettuce, please?
Absolutely.
We've got some homemade guacamole that's killer.
How spicy do you want it to be?
Not too intense, please.
Okay.
Are your nachos made with real cheese or a cheese sauce?
Oh, we only use real cheese here.
None of that artificial stuff.
And how about the beef?
Is it seasoned?
It sure is.
We marinate our beef with a blend of spices for a mouth-watering flavor.
Sounds delicious.
Anything to drink with your order?
I'll have a cold horchata, please.
I'll take a refreshing lemonade.
Coming right up.
It'll be just a few minutes.

I'm trying to get to San Miguel Market.
Can you tell me which bus I need to take?
Sure thing.
You'll want to hop on the 50 bus.
It'll take you right there.
Great, thanks.
How often does the 50 bus come by?
It runs every 15 minutes, so you shouldn't have to wait too long.
Awesome.
How much is the ticket?
It's €1.50 for a single ticket.
You can also get a 10-ride pass for €12 if you'll be using the bus a lot during your stay.
Sounds good.
Do you know how long the bus ride will be?
The trip to San Miguel Market should take around 20 minutes.
It's a pretty straightforward ride.
That's not bad at all.
Are there any other transportation options I should consider while I'm here?
Definitely.
The metro is a quick and efficient way to get around the city, especially if you're traveling longer distances.
And of course, there are taxis and ride-sharing services like Uber too.
Good to know.
I'll have to give the metro a try.
Do you have any tips for using it?
Sure thing.
Just make sure to get a metro card, which you can easily buy at any metro station.
It'll save you the hassle of buying tickets for each ride.
Got it.
And is the metro usually on time?
Yeah, it's pretty reliable.
I'm just a bit nervous about getting around in a new city.
No worries, my friend.
You'll get the hang of it in no time.
Madrid's public transportation system is quite convenient and easy to navigate.
Ah, looks like your bus is here.
Take a seat and enjoy the ride.
Thanks for all your help.
My pleasure.
Enjoy your time in Madrid.
