“You give me no choice but to call your parents now, kids,” the guard of a busy business center said firmly to Pepe and Gilbert. “This is the third time I’m asking you both not to skateboard in front of this building. It’s dangerous! This is not the right place for that.”
“Mom, dad…I’m going for a walk along the beach. I promise I won’t go too far.” Pepe was excited as the warm salt air and breeze invigorated his body, and wanted to soak it all in.
“Ouch!” Pepe yelled in pain when some heavy books he was carrying fell on his foot. “Ouch! Ouch!” He continued.
