I intend to visit Mr. Black and to discuss some health problem with him. Michael, you are not feeling very good?

No, I am certainly not. I’m going to go to the hospital.

What is the problem?

Well. I got diagnosed with amoebic dysentery about eight nine weeks ago when I was up in the mountains and I got treated for it then by a very good doctor with antibiotics but I fear that it has not yet gone away as I have had recurring problems.

You vomited this morning?

That is right. I got some new pills that somebody at this very cafe recommended, that I take. I’ve been meaning to phone my doctor all week, but …

Ayurvedic?

No, no. Not those ones. These were some other pills. I forget what they were called. This man said that his sister was a nurse and these were the pills to take and I found them at a chemist, took a couple and I was violently sick this morning not long after taking one of these pills on the street, which was quite interesting.

Mm. That is terrible. You must consult your doctor, but choose for yourself. How are you feeling now? Are you feeling a little better?

Not really I am feeling very weak I have to take some of these… you know… what do you call them…re-hydration salts.

And you are going to eat some banana and papaya as well?

Well I have got a papaya juice coming and yeah perhaps I will have some banana. I have heard that that is good for me.

Don’t I jump into conclusion; anyway I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you very much.

This man wants to clean your shoes.

Yes, I …
