The Boy

A boy wearing a blue shirt enters a playground.
In three of the corners there sits another boy.
One with a green shirt.
One with blonde hair.
And one wearing sneakers.
The boy in the blue shirt walks up to the one in green.
The boy in green is staring at the ground.

"Would you like to play?"

The boy in green looks at the boy in blue for a moment and bursts into tears.
The boy in blue tries to comfort the boy in green.
The boy in green is too wrapped up in his feelings to accept his words of comfort.

Sighing, the boy in blue moves on to the blonde haired boy.
The blonde haired boy is playing with a small group of plastic soldiers.

"Would you like to play?"

The blonde haired boy stares and simply says nothing.
The boy in blue tries to talk to the blonde haired boy.
The blonde haired boy continues to stare and simply turns back to his figures.

Discouraged, the boy in blue moves on to the boy in sneakers.
The boy in sneakers in scribbling on a piece of paper.

"Would you like to play?"

The boy in sneakers scowls at the boy in blue.
The boy in blue doesn't even bother saying anything else.

Now in tears, the boy in blue runs out of the playground.
He does not want to come back for a long time.

A fourth boy in a blue jacket sees this and runs after the boy in blue.
But he's too late.

The boy in blue is gone.
