She looks at me and says
I do not want you to be sad, Kek.

Let’s have some chocolate milk.
Maybe I will tell you another time.

GOL’S ADVENTURE

(Takes place in between “RUNNING AWAY” and “BUS”)
I work hard at school. I am tired.

I get into Dave's car and without a word,

strap the belt around me.
I am glad Dave does not ask me anything.

When we get to my apartment, I finally speak.
Can I go see Gol? I ask.

I hope that Dave will let me go.
Yes, Kek, you may go, he says.

I walk to the bus stop

and wait in the room with the sitting table.
Then the bus comes screeching to a stop in front of me.

The doors fly open, and I jump in.
I slip a few of the little shiny pieces of metal into the slot and walk to the back of the bus.

Finally, we arrive at Gol’s home.
I'm surprised that I don't see her grazing in the grass.
