Testimony by Expert Witness
So the other day I went to the store and saw my Cassidy. She was looking for the ketchup isle and she was having a problem finding it. I decided to help her and while we were looking we ran into Kennedy who was trying to find the shampoo isle. We searched around the entire store for what felt like hours and hours. Eventually we found the soap isle, so we knew that we had to be getting close to the shampoo isle. But as we continued walking we ended up in the paper towel isle. We were about to give up but then we found someone who worked at the store. After asking for help, we learned that the store didn't even sell ketchup or shampoo.
