What do you see?

...Now let's follow Mr. Hothead to the other side of the park.
PART III
On the other side of the park sits an old woman on a bench.
She has a loaf of bread and is feeding the pigeons. Her name is Truth.
A woman storms up to Truth, scattering the birds in her wake.
“Why are you feeding those rats with wings?!” The woman screeches, waving her arms indignantly.
Truth slowly looks up at Paranoia, sadness in her eyes.
“Tut tut,” Truth says, “You scared away my pretty friends.”
“Well,” huffed Paranoia, “They were filthy birds.”
“Dirty they may be, but they were just hungry like you and me.” says Truth.
“Those birds might be riddled with disease,” Exclaims Paranoia, “They
could make you and me and everyone sick!”
“Not if we don't touch them.” Truth says firmly, defending her winged friends.
Paranoia turned up her nose and sneered at Truth. There was nothing more she could say.
Now let's move on to the area of the park where teenagers like to skateboard.
