Peter talking to Mr, Bourkanyana

Peter is phoning Mr. Arkan Bourkanyana, the local shopkeeper, and his neighbour.
Riiing....
Arkan: Hello this is Arkan Bourkanyana speaking.
Peter: Hi Arkan, Peter here. We won! What a losing streak but it’s over.

Arkan: Yes, I saw the end of the game, after I closed up. You played very well.

Peter: You think so? Thanks. We were so happy but these youngsters were laughing at us. They were giving us a hard time, being a bit rude and insolent because they wanted to come on the pitch and play. But in the end, they got impatient, and went to play on the nearby grassy area. We need a few more football pitches here. There’s not enough.

Most of those kids are okay, but there’s a few of them that really like to give you a hard time.

Arkan: Yes, they sometimes give my wife a hard time when she comes to the park. She’s not in good health, and with our five children, she can’t cope with a lot of stress. I don’t like when they say those things to her. Some of them are racists. Not all of them. Most of them are quite nice, but a few of them, need to be taken in hand. I don’t know what we can do about it. But my wife is thinking that maybe she no longer wants to come to the park.

Peter: That's a shame, I think we have to do something about this. I saw your interview in the magazine the other day about integration. I think you are making an important point. Let's come together and talk about this. I'll talk to Mary maybe we can invite you and your wife to come over for dinner in the weekend.

Arkan: that would be good. Let's see if we can come up with some good ideas. Bye
Peter: I'll call you later after talking to Mary, bye,bye
