“Friend, please sit with me!”

“Please, come join me, friend!”

— Friend, come and sit with me!

– “Friend, come sit with me”.

“Greetings, friend!” he called out. “Come, join me.”

For a moment I wondered if he was someone I knew from long ago, and I quickly searched my memory.

For a moment I was afraid it was an acquaintance I hadn’t seen in a while, and quickly consulted my memory.

For a moment, I was afraid that he was an old acquaintance I couldn’t place, and I did a quick search of my memory.

For a moment, I was afraid that I do not remember an acquaintance I had not seen in a long time, and I quickly searched in my memory.

For a moment, I was afraid that it was someone I didn’t remember from ages ago, and I quickly searched my memory.

For a moment I feared that I did not recognize a long-ago acquaintance, and quickly searched my memory.

For a moment, I was afraid I was forgetting someone I knew and had not seen for a long time, and I quickly searched my memory.

I struggled to place him, fearing that I’d forgotten an old acquaintance.

No, I didn’t know this old fellow with his long nose and drooping ears, but his invitation sounded irresistible.

No…I didn’t know this long-nosed, big-eared old guy, but his invitation sounded somehow irresistible,

But no, I didn’t know the old guy with the long nose and low-hanging earlobes. Still, for some reason his invitation was compelling.

No, I do not know that long-nosed old man, but his invitation somehow sounded to me irresistible,

No, I don’t know that long-nosed, dangling-eared old man, but I couldn’t pass up his invitation,

but no, I was certain I didn’t know this old man with his long nose and sagging ears.

No, I didn’t know this long-nosed old man with the pendulous ears, but his invitation somehow sounded irresistible to me.

No, I did not know this long nosed thin-as-a-rail elder, but the invitation sounded somehow irresistible,

But after a moment I was sure: I had never met this old man with the long nose and the droopy ears. Still, his invitation sounded irresistable.

Maybe he would provide interesting conversation, which would be better than me eating my breakfast alone, thinking about my own worries.

and if he wound up starting an interesting conversation, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad not to gulp down my breakfast while chewing on my worried thoughts, all alone.

I figured that if it turned out that he had something interesting to say, maybe it would be good for me not to wolf down my breakfast all alone, consumed by my worries.

and if eventually he would offer an interesting conversation, maybe it would be opportune not to eat my breakfast chewing my worry-filled thoughts all alone.

and maybe he would eventually make for interesting conversation, maybe it would be a chance not to wolf down my breakfast with my troubled thoughts totally alone.

However, his unexpected invitation was too tempting to resist. He might provide interesting company; perhaps it would be worthwhile not to devour my breakfast alone in the isolating haze of my own worries.

Perhaps he would suggest an interesting topic of conversation, thereby rescuing me from chewing on my worries while gulping my breakfast, all alone.

and if eventually he proposed an interesting chat, it would possibly be appropriate not to swallow my breakfast while meditating on my worried thoughts all alone.

And if it turned out he could make interesting conversation, that might be preferable to a breakfast all alone with my worries.
