Boys who swear and smoke tobacco can’t sleep here

My sister Mina took me to the new park a few blocks away from our house. I am really excited because this is the first playground in the city. Before this park all of the kids would play in the street. We would chase fire trucks play jacks play stickball and spud. But now instead of doing this in the street we can do this in the new park! My mom does not like the new park because she can not see what I am doing all the time. I like because I can do things without her knowing.

On our way home we saw a few things like we saw a man with a monkey, and the monkey was dancing to the music the man was playing! It looked so cool, I even gave them a penny and the monkey tipped his hat at me. We were one block away from the park when we heard a boy mutter under his  breath “Boys who swear and smoke tobacco can’t sleep here ugg.” Then my sister told me, “ Just keep walking dear”. Just then I decided I could not hold it in anymore, then I just said, “Sir were you um talking to me?” Then as he walked over to us my sister hushed me. When he got over to me he started to explain. He said his name was Jerry. He also said I finally raised enough money to sleep in a shelter for kids. But then there was this sign that read, “Boys who smoke tobacco or swear can’t sleep here. And now I don’t know what to do.” “Well we hope you find a nice place to live and if you need any help just ask,” said my sister. But then he said, “thank you but I am sure I can do it on my own.” Then my sister said, “ By the way my name is Mina and this is my little sister Ziri.” Then he said goodbye and my sister said goodbye and then we finally went to the park! When we got to the the playground my sister told me to go play. So I went over to my friend Sara lent and we played jacks. Jacks is my favorite game  because I always win! After I won my sister called me over and said “Ziri its time to go.” So we went home and I decided I would  tell my mom anything that happened.
