[nina and her mother both have colds. mrs. wood, our neighbor, has lent nina three stuffed dogs. nina is quite attached to these dogs. she usually plays with them whenever she visits the wood's apartment. the tape recorder is making an unpleasant whining sound during most of the hour. every once in a while it distracts nina from what she is doing. nina is playing with some small wooden people. there is a father, a mother, a little girl and a baby. the little people came with some small chairs that are hollowed out in order for the people to fit in easily. there is also a table with plates, napkins etc. drawn on the top.]
