Father: My dear son, there’s a complaint about you from your teacher.
Son: What is it about, dad?

Father: It seems you do not pay attention in class.

Son: It’s not true, dad.

Father: But your marks are low. And I don’t see you
reading your lessons at home too.

Son: Hmm yes. But I will try to do better next time.

Father: Remember that your teacher is your well-
wisher. She wants you to do well in studies.

Don’t you think you should start taking your
studies more seriously?

Son: Yes, dad.

Father: And son, you have a bright future ahead. Do not waste your time. I am always there to
help you.

Son: Thank you, dad. I am sorry. I shall work hard.

Father: Good. That's like a good boy.
