Original Answer: Phoresi refers to the relationship that animals use another kind of species to transport themselves without causing any injury to this kind of species. Take the mite as an example, they feed on a kind of flower which falls off very quickly. So they eat the nectar from the flower but they have to transport themselves to another flower. However, they cannot fly so it might be hard to climb from a flower to another flower for the mite. And there is a kind of bird called hummingbird which eats the same flower of the mite. And when they get nectar, the mite may come to this bird and because they are tiny, it won't cause any harm to the hummingbird. And the hummingbird takes care of them with their flowers.

Revised Answer (140 words):

The proposal in Marie Jones' letter suggests that student plays at the university should be free for everyone, including those who are not directly associated with the university. The man in the conversation agrees with this idea for two main reasons. First, he believes that making student plays free would provide more entertainment options for local residents, especially since there is no nearby movie theater and professional plays can be expensive. Second, he thinks that having larger audiences would be beneficial for student actors as it would create a better atmosphere during performances and help them perform at their best. For example, in a comedy play, having more people in the audience laughing at the jokes would make the show more enjoyable and successful.
