A: Hey, did you hear about the pandas?
B: No! What’s up?

A: The last pandas in Japan, Xiao Xiao and Lei Lei, left for China!
B: Seriously? Wow! That’s sad.

A: Yeah, a lot of people went to see them off at the zoo.
B: Really? Even early in the morning?

A: Yep! One guy said he felt like something important was missing.
B: I can imagine. No pandas in Japan for the first time in ages!

A: They’re going to a special panda center in Sichuan.
B: So, they'll be okay?

A: They’re probably sleepy now! They were given medicine before they went on the truck.
B: Oh, that makes sense. A special flight, huh? Fancy!

A: They’ll need to quarantine first, then hopefully we can see them again!
B: Fingers crossed! I hope they like their new home.
