Dialogue:
Mai: Hi, Nam. You look thoughtful. What are you thinking about?
Nam: I was just looking at this old photo. It reminds me of our childhood.
Mai: Let me see. Oh, this is the treehouse your dad built for us!
Nam: Yes! We were playing in it every summer. I remember we were spending hours up there, reading comics and telling stories.
Mai: Those were the days. I recall that you were always the one telling scary stories.
Nam: Ha ha, yes! And you were hiding under the blanket while I was talking.
Mai: I wish we could go back to those simple times.
Nam: Me too. I miss those days so much. Back then, we didn't worry about anything.
Mai: We should visit the old neighbourhood this weekend.
Nam: Great idea! I'm sure it will bring back many more memories.
