"....eight, nine, ten and here i come" said Jill running and chasing others. After two minutes of running/chasing/brawling/shouting she caught Jack. Now it's his turn he went to the tree and started to count
"One, two, five, six.."

"You cheat you left four and three "shouted Elena

"No I counted them. You didn't hear them"

"No you didn't!"

"Yes I did!"

The other kids knew this fight won't end soon. This happens a lot. Elena and Jack are like ice and fire. They always fight with each other. So the other kids decided to sit there and watch them fight. Sometimes the conversation will get heated and both will begin to kick each other. One of the kids Ronnie, was bored of their fighting and was looking around the park. He saw the well dressed man. He asked

"Hey Julie, I think that man there is hurt"

"Yes he is!" She replied without taking her eyes on that fight.

"Barry do you have any band-aids left?"

"Yes I think so. Why? Are you going to join this fight?"

"No I am going to give it to the man over there" he said it a little loud.

Elena and Jack stopped their fight. Everyone looked at him like he is going to slay a dragon. Caroline started,

"Are you mad? He is a stranger"

"So what?"

"Didn't your parents tell you not to talk to strangers?" asked Elena

"No"

"Then what did your mother teach you. Nothing?" said Jack and laughed. Everyone laughed.

"My mom taught me to help people"said Ronnie. He grabbed the band-aid and went towards the well dressed man
