When he finishes, Ono heads back home. He’s happy to have earned a little money to help support his family.

From far away he recognizes the boy he had seen the other day. Ono didn’t know him, but the other day the boy said hi to him and Ono did the same, but didn’t dare to stop.

This time Ono decides to stop. He’s a little bit afraid. Maybe today the other boy won’t even talk to him. But when he sees Ono he smiles.
“Jambo, my name is Ono, and you?”
“Jambo, my name is Rene.”

Ono’s eyes sparkle when he sees the soccer ball that Rene’s holding.
“The ball isn’t mine. It belongs to my Tapori group, the Star Kids. I’m just in charge of the ball,” explains Rene. “Would you like to play?”

Ono is surprised. It’s the first time another kid has invited him to play.
But he doesn’t wait for long before saying yes and the two boys start playing.
