Their Chinese friends, Li Mei and Wu Ping, are visiting for the Carnival holiday in February . CARLA: Li Mei, why are you wearing those shoes? You can ’ t be serious ! Your feet will hurt so much by the end of the parade that you won ’ t be able to stand. Would you like these comfortable shoes? LI MEI: Thanks, Carla, but I wanted something to go with this dress. Those are the wrong colour . CARLA: You must be joking! That dress is too thick. Do you realize that it ’ ll be thirty-five degrees out there and that you ’ re going to walking and dancing until midnight? You have to have something light and cool ─ and a hat! Part2 The boys are already there when the girls arrive. The music over the loudspeakers makes it difficult to hear each other. One after another , big bands arrive, along with thousands of dancers and musicians. The Carnival is beginning!
