This is a translated and slightly modernized reading of a papyrus found in the ancient city of Oxyrhynchus, Egypt. It's penned in Greek by a young boy named Theon, who is expressing his disappointment and frustration to his father, also named Theon, for not taking him along to the city and potentially leaving him behind for a trip to Alexandria.
