Xiao Wang: Hello! Excuse me, do you still have rooms available this Saturday?
Receptionist: Hello! Yes, we do. How many nights will you be staying?
Xiao Wang: Two nights. It's for my wife and me. Do you have a room with a big bed?
Receptionist: Yes. It's six hundred yuan a night.
Xiao Wang: That's a little expensive. Do you have anything cheaper?
Receptionist: There's one for four hundred, but the room is very small, and the bus stop is right outside.
Xiao Wang: Then I'll take the six-hundred one. Sunday is my wife's birthday.
Receptionist: All right. May I have your last name, please?
Xiao Wang: My last name is Wang.
Receptionist: Mr. Wang, your room is all set. On her birthday, we'll give your wife some flowers.
Xiao Wang: That's great, thank you! But don't tell her they're from you!
