In the morning it's like this: everyone goes to school. After lunch the group gathers to play. Sometimes we spend the afternoon riding in a rolimã cart.
Or else fly a kite. We almost always play ball because it's much better. Every day is nice, not when it rains. Rainy day is a bore. You can't do anything. The way is to sit in the bedroom looking out the window at the water like a shower. After the rain, the way is to make a paper boat and drop it in the water that runs down the sidewalk. (…)
