Meteor Shower

Matt and Velice are having a conversation in the class.

“How long didi it happen?”Velice asked Matt.

“It was just a while, I think” he answered.

“Aaahhh… that’s a waste. I should have watched it, too,” sighed Velice.

Suddenly, Rina showed up.

“Here! Here comes Rina!” Velice said.

Rina joined them and seconds after that Matt told the crowd about his experience watching Meteor Shower. “Did you watch meteor shower last night, Rin?” asked Maat.

She didn’t answer, then Matt continued.

“I watched it, you know, with my new telescope on the balcony at 9.00 PM in Jakarta. Can’t you believe it that astronomers in Hawaii did this, too at the same time! Isn’t it cool?”

“Fantastic!” exclaimed Velice, full of admiration.

Then Matt and Velice  continued their conversation, while Rina was observing Matt’s story.

“Wait….” Rina interrupted. Both Matt and Velice looked at her with questioning glance. “When did meteor shower happen in Hawaii?”

Matt rolled his eyes. “I told you. It happened at 9.00 PM! What’s wrong with you?”

“And you said that you watched it in Jakarta at 9.00 PM, too?”

“Aw, seriously, Rina,’ sighed Matt. “Yes,”

“Do you know that Jakarta’s local time is 5 hours ahead of Hawaii’s local time?” Rina asked Matt sarcastically. “So, it’s impossible if you watched  it the same time in Hawaii!”

Matt was speechless.
