This episode is called “Being Clumsy.” “To be clumsy” means to be unable to control your body very well; you are always falling down or having accidents. That’s being clumsy. It’s a dialogue between Edward and Bella about being clumsy, about being someone who isn’t able to dance very well. Let’s get started.
Edward: Would you dance with me?
Bella: Me? I’d like to, but I don’t dance.
Edward: Why?
Bella: I have two left feet. I’m so clumsy, first I’d step all over your feet, and then I’d stumble all over the dance floor.
Edward: I don’t believe that. I bet you’re very graceful on
