CONVERSATION IN THE AGORA

Citizen A: Madam, is it possible that you could keep your child quieter?

Citizen B: What am I supposed to do?

Citizen A: What have I just asked you

Citizen B: And I have just asked you

Citizen A: Have you no idea how to start?

Citizen B: What?

Citizen A: Use your parenting skills

Citizen B: What for?

Citizen A: To keep your child quieter

Citizen B: He's not making any noise

Citizen A: It's making a lot of noise, a noise like a loud parrot

Citizen B: It's He not It

Citizen A: Parrots are it

Citizen B: He's a human boy

Citizen A: Then, using your parenting skills, keep him quiet so that he doesn't make a noise like a parrot

Citizen B: No one minds.

Citizen A: Oh they do

Citizen B: You mind and I don't care about you

Citizen A: That much is apparent. So, you only pay attention to those people who agree with you?

Citizen B: All children make a noise

Citizen A: No. Many are taught to behave

Citizen B: Are you saying that I haven't brought up my son properly?

Citizen A: I don't want to go into the reasons. I just want the parrot sounds to stop

Citizen B: Stop calling my son a parrot

Citizen A: Stop him squawking like one then

Citizen B: I'm not staying here

Citizen A: Take the parrot please
