Q. Read the following extract and convert it into a dialogue between Charles and Oliver in about

[You may begin with: Charles: Hi Orlando! I am a famous wrestler...........]
Frederick had a very famous wrestler, called Charles, in his court. He was champion of the country, and had fought many brave and strong young men. Now, Orlando was a fine wrestler, too, and decided to try his strength against Charles. Charles came to see Oliver about this, asking him to persuade Orlando to give up his idea.
'I am a professional wrestler, sir' Charles explained to Oliver, and I must always fight to win, in order to keep my reputation. Anyone who fights me runs the risk of being badly hurt. Please warn your younger brother, and persuade him to change his mind.'
But the wicked Oliver thought this was a good opportunity to get rid of Orlando, so he told Charles all kinds of lies about the young man. He pretended that Orlando was bad and ungrateful, and deserved any punishment which Charles could give him. 'I would rather you broke his neck than his finger.' Oliver said, 'and you have my permission to do what you like with the boy.'
So Charles promised to do his best to kill Orlando. 'If he comes to the fight tomorrow, I'll give him his payment,' Charles said, 'If he can walk away after I have finished with him. I'll never wrestle again.'
