Maria: Hi, Sam. I want to buy a pet. Do you have any ideas?
Sam: You really should go to Rachel's pet store.
Maria: why? anything special there?
Sam: it's more than special. You can find as many kinds of animals as you can put a name to and more.
Maria: Oh, really? are there any snakes?
Sam: snakes? there are even rodents and monkeys! it's a world of exotic pets.
Maria: that's terrific. I can't wait to check it out.
Sam: Hang on. are you sure you want to keep a non-traditional pet?
Maria: why not? it's so cool.
Sam: but it will pose a risk to your health.
Maria: pardon?
Sam: i mean, most reptiles carry some harmful bacteria. they are likely to cause immune system problems.
Maria: well, I didn't realize that.
Sam: I don't believe it's a good choice to keep those pets, especially for families with young children.
Maria: oh, I should have thought of my brother's baby girl. Maybe I'll just have a dog instead of an exotic pet.
Sam: yes, good luck, Maria.
