But no one listens to his shout. Benny sits alone for an hour but his boredom does not disappear.

His mom and dad always tell him what to do. Today, he has to think of something himself.

“Hey Benny, that is a cool t-shirt,” calls out Tammy. Tammy is walking down the street.

Benny has no one to play with. Benny makes a game of hopscotch with chalk.

Three, he hopped three times. Five, he hopped five times.

Soon, other children come over there to play. Benny has lots of fun.
