What is it?

This is the Internet?

I asked for a loan of it so that you could use it in your speech.

That's one of the surprising things about it.

Hang on, it doesn't have any wires or anything.

So I can really use it in my speech?

What if someone needs it?

Of course it is, Jen. The Internet doesn't weigh anything.

That's where you get the best reception.

I promise I won't let anything happen to it.

They wanted to do whatever they could to help.

So, can I have it?

No, Jen, I'm sorry. It's just too risky.
