Close Encounters

VI

Ignorance was walking down the street when he met Knowledge.

‘Have you ever spoken to an Aborigine?’ Knowledge asked.

‘NO!’ Ignorance replied, ‘but I know all about them, mate.’

‘So, you’ve never actually heard an Aboriginal VOICE speaking to you?’ Knowledge asked.

‘NO!’ Ignorance grinned. ‘I’m a true Aussie, mate. Why would I listen to an Aborigine?’

‘Well, maybe you could learn from an Aborigine,’ Knowledge suggested.

Ignorance was so stunned that he lost his VOICE.

And he started running away.

He was screaming inside.

And he ran away from Knowledge as fast as Ignorance could go.
