Dialog 2—Basic Magazine Presentation

This dialog begins and ends in the same way as Dialog 1—Basic Presentation. As with the tract, we read a question from the cover. But instead of simply telling the householder that the answer is in the magazine we read a scripture which answers the question and then tell him that there is more information in the magazine.

Notes

If a young child opens the door you will address him using the singular you (ты, literally “thou”). If he is old enough to know how to address adults outside the family, he will address you using the plural you (вы). Though in the dialog with the child no one actually says “ты” or “вы”, the words are implied by the fact that you say “здравствуй” to the child but he says “здравствуйте” in return.
