Time machine homework -

You meet some people.
You go to investigate some strange sounds and you end up meeting some people from the time that you are visiting. They wonder who you are and are a bit scared of you too. You have to try and talk yourself out of a lot of trouble.
Write out the conversation that you have. Remember to use speech marks and start a new line for every speaker.
Do you make friends in the end ?
