I detoured through the playground at the end of our alley. I saw a group of old men, two seated across a folding table playing a game of chess set, others watching. I immediately ran home and grabbed Vincent's chess set which was in a cardboard box. I also carefully selected two prized rolls of Life Savers and went back to the park. I approached a man who was observing the game and asked him if he wanted to play. His face widened with surprise, as he said that it has been a long time since he played with dolls. (do I look like a doll?!?) I quickly put the box down next to him on the bench and displayed my retort. Lau Po, as he allowed me to call him, turned out to be a much better player than my brothers!
I ended up losing many games and my precious Life Savers! ~sad~
I'm in a bad mood today .. Don't bug me!
