Chapter One: Apollo Arrives in Rome

Apollo: Greetings! Who are you?

Paulus: Greetings! My name is Paul. What is your name?

***

Apollo: My name is Apollo. I come from the city of Athens.

***

Paul: From Athens? What brings you to Rome?

Apollo: The experience of new lands and to learn new things.

 *** 

Paul: Welcome! Rome is a magnificent city. What fascinates you about Rome?

Apollo: Everything! The art, architecture, and culture. Where do you live in this city?

Paul: I live in a Roman house in the Caelian Hill district. I love this city for the variety of food and festivals.

 ***

Apollo: Sounds splendid. Thank you for welcoming me.

 Paul: It’s nothing, my friend. If you want to know anything or see anything, ask me.

 Apollo: Paul, I ask you, where can we find cat food?

 ***

Paul: You can find the best food in the taverns around the Roman Forum.

Apollo: Good! But surely cats are not accustomed to buying food?

 Paul: That’s true! Cats are clever thieves. They are able to steal food in the forum.

 ***

Apollo: Wonderful! Rome is a city full of birds and food.

 Paul: So it is! If you want, I will lead you and show you places where cats can steal food.

*** 

Apollo: I am grateful, Paul.

Paul: It’ nothing, my friend. Follow me!
