Dairyman

What a boy! Why call out then? Ugh! What a waste of time.

Amal

I would go with you if I could.

Dairyman

With me?

Amal

Yes, I seem to feel homesick when I hear you call from far down the road.

Dairyman [Lowering his yoke-pole]

Whatever are you doing here, my child?

Amal

The doctor says I'm not to be out, so I sit here all day long.
