　　Lulu didn’t want to go to the play. This Wednesday was going to be very
busy. She had realty meetings and clients to drive around. Called “Narnia,” the
play was based on the novel by C.S. Lewis. It was a musical. “You know that I
don’t like musicals,” she told Walt. “I can never understand what they’re saying
when they sing, and the music is not that good, either.” He told her that there
were a lot of great musicals, famous just for their music if nothing else. She
asked when he was going to take her to one.
        　　Well, he said, someone had told him that this play was the one. She still
said that she’d rather not go. He argued that they only went to a play once
every two months, so please be ready. He would pick her up the next day at 7
p.m.
        　　Throughout the next day, he thought about the play—maybe Lulu was right. He
called up a couple of friends to ask if they had seen the play, but they had
not. At about 6 p.m., he had the bright idea to Google the play. Sure enough, he
found a site that contained music samples from the play. He sampled about six
tunes; they did nothing for him. Lulu was right, he thought, at least about this
play. He was going to call Lulu, but just then his sister called him. They
talked for at least half an hour.
