Sally: I’ve been thinking about selling the farm.

Mark: Why would you do that, Mom? I am always available to help out.

Sally: I know you are. But, when you are through working for the Co-op, there isn’t enough time left for the farm.

Mark: This is our family home. Dad made this farm what it is. Why do you think that you should sell it to somebody else?

Sally: I have made up my mind. I have a potential buyer and I plan to sign the papers next week.

Mark: Why didn't you give me a chance to buy the farm? I hope you'll reconsider.
