TRANSLATION:

Father, why do I need to dress myself well?

My dear son, there are many reasons to dress yourself well. Let me explain to you.

I am listening to you, father.

When you dress yourself well, other people take your word more seriously.

Why, father?

It is that because people have assumptions about certain clothes that he who wears them, also has certain qualities, even if it is true or not.

My dear son, look at this man.

What about him?

When one wears clothes like these, people first think that he has life-success, is honest, and intelligent.

Of all that if I dress myself in that, people would think of that of me?

Yes, my son.

Ah, I already know my rune-letters and my 1-2-3. I am smart!

Haha. Yea, you are.

Is it true that one can be smart and he dress badly?

Certainly, that is true but a man like him does not have honour/respect for himself.

Honour? What do you mean, father?

I mean that he who does not want to dress well, does not like himself.

That is unfortunate.

Further, my son, when you dress well, you have consideration for others. People like that and they feel secure.

Why, father?

People, in general, feel safe among others who dress honourably.

I understand.

Also, son, remember that no two men are the same. Salt looks like sugar. Please, use your discernment.

Now now, tell me what did you learn today?

I learned that if I dress well that people take my word more seriously, think that I have life-success, am honest and intelligent, think that I have respect for myself.

I learned that if I dress well that I have consideration for others and that people like that and feel secure among who dress honourably.

I also learned that no two men are the same, salt looks like sugar and I must use my discernment.

Excellent, my son. You did well.
