After a few days of playing with Venancio, I noticed that he was gradually getting bored. And one day, he said to me, "Is this what we're going to play again? It's boring, let's try something different."
With what he said, sadness dawned on me. Playing with my toy cars is my favorite. But, maybe we can do something else? Just for him to stay to be my friend?
"Alright, let's go to the roof and then we'll think of something else to play." I invite him, his eyes lit up, and we went up.
"It's so windy here!" He squealed with joy, and I giggled with him,
We still couldn't think of anything new to play and a while ago he kept forcing me to play in his room in their house, and I refused again and again.
Later, we were just quietly thinking while looking at the setting sun, "You look sad." I finally told him what I noticed recently,
"My parents want to forbid me to wander because they say I always come home late." He explains,
And apparently at the same time he said that, I remembered our friendship this past week.
I was sad, I don't want to lose him, and if he is banned from playing with me, I will lose my only friend. A crack where he was sitting sounded, and I was too late to warn him of something I also did not expect. The roof had collapsed, and he fell down.
The only thing I can do was scream, as fear came over me.
