-"Elias, don't forget your coat."
"I won't, mother!"
Knock, knock, knock
"I'm sorry for bothering you, father. I just need to fetch my coat. Can I come in?"
-"What do you need it for?"
"I'm going out to play with the boys from down the street."
-"Did you finish the study from yesterday yet?"
"Um... Yes, father. I've written the notes you asked and studied the humors."
-"Then you understand how much more there is to learn. Humors affect how we act. What can you tell me about yours right now?"
"Mine are balanced. I'm not hot, dry, wet or cold."
-"But you wish to go out with your coat. If you are not cold, then why?"
"To make sure that I don't get cold... And mother told me I should wear it."
-"And why did she do that? It's illogical, it is a warm day outside, and the coat is heavy. If anything, it will make you overheat."
"I shouldn't bring a coat then and go like this outside? What if it will rain?"
-"You can just take it off if it's too hot. What I ask about is why did she tell you to bring it, despite the coat being heavy. It makes no sense. Why does her mind tell her that, I wonder?"
"Because a mother worries about their children? They don't want them to be sick if they are caught in the rain or a sudden cold wind from the sea."
-"Very good. Which humors do you think had caused that lack of logic, and why?"
"Uh... The Phlegm? It's the brain and maturity. Mothers' are mature and such worries must be from the-. No, blood. That's the heart, feelings come from the heart. Because mother is worried about me getting sick, her logic is that I take a coat to keep warm if it turns cold or starts to rain."
-"Interesting. Write that down, son. I say it every time, but I cannot stress it enough: always record your findings for the peers, and your thoughts for yourself."
"Do I have to write all of it down? Why?"
-"Like humors, memories are fleeting. You will forget it unless you write it. Without writing down my thoughts, I would never have come as far in the study as I did."
"Can't I write it down when I get back? They are waiting."
-"Science nor memory will wait. You will lose it if you do not record it."
"Oh. Alright."
"I've done writing what you told me. Am I supposed to write anything else?"
-"Not yet. Rather, I would have you assist me. I will need a pair of hands for this, and your recent success with the frog makes me confident you will do well. Hold here."
"Yes, father."
-"Well done, son. Now..."
