"Hello Jakob!" I greeted on the phone as I put on my shoes.
"Greetings Madam! Is there anything I can do for you?" He asked.

"Do you see outside dear?" She asked and I nodded.
"What does it look like?" She asked again and this time I frowned.
"Outside!" I replied enthusiastically.
"Well you're right but you can also see the trees bending a little and some of the plants moving back and forth" She pointed out and I nodded my head.
