going to blow up this house?
… ( listening to some rap music) Come on, Daddy, it can’t be so
bad.
(turning down the volume) It’s too late now, dear. Won’t you
ever tired of such noisy stuff?
My daddy, you dislike rap, don’t you? You can never learn to
appreciate it then.
How do you find rap so exciting?
I feel energized listening to it. The rhythm is fantastic.
But it’s speaking, not singing!
Calm down, Daddy. Please try this one… There you go… How
do you like it?
Well, it’s not so bad. Maybe this one is soft enough for me.
I’ll learn to understand more about my princess.
No one compares to you, Daddy! You’ll soon see why we all
like it.
