A: I want to try out for the tennis team. B: Our school doesn't have a tennis team. A: Yes it does. They were practicing after school yesterday. B: Were they using a birdie? A: Of course not! That'd be animal abuse! B: A birdie is a plastic, red-nosed tool for badminton. A: Oh, I see. Yes, they were using a red tool. B: Then the sport you saw was definitely badminton. A: Is that also why the rackets were so small and thin? B: Yes. It's somewhat similar to tennis, though. A: Well, in that case, I want to join the badminton team! B: I wish you the best of luck!
