Lessons in the Market

Diary of Sam

Age 11
Went to the market today with Ellis again. On the way in, I saw musicians together as a band. They were great. They even had someone playing flute. We stayed for a while and listened. When we got back father yelled at us for taking so long. He screamed at Ellis saying that such petty entertainment might be ok for her as a peasant and  for slaves but not for someone with means. Does he realize that he has had me play for his friends, oh about 20 different times? What does that make me in his eyes? He does not need to treat people this way.  He does not need to treat people I love this way.  The music sure was beautiful though.
