12. The Story of Ken |
|
Until I went to primary school, I had only one friend. His name was Ken. He was very tall and quite a strange boy. We played together everyday, but I do not remember us talking much. Honestly, he would not talk to me. We have only spent time together. I thought it was a usual thing. But when I went to primary school, I found that he was different from the other students there. One day, I went to his house to study with him. When I went to his room, he was drawing pictures. I said, �gHi.�h He said, �gHi.�h He did not look at me. �gWhat are you drawing?�h I asked him this question for the first time. He would not answer. When I saw his pictures, I found that he drew many buses. After he used a crayon, he returned it to the case, saying �gOne, two, three�c�h. I asked him, �gWhy? Why do you check the crayons?�h He did not answer. He kept on drawing buses. Once he finished drawing, he clapped his hands. Then, he started to draw again. I said to him, �gI want to draw, too. May I borrow your crayons?�h I took his red and yellow crayons. He stopped drawing, and he watched me carefully. I drew a bus and returned the two crayons to the case. Suddenly, he jumped up and changed the order of the red and yellow crayons. �gWhy?�h I wanted to study him more. I changed the order of all the crayons in the case. Then, he jumped up again, and hit his head two times. He caught my arm, watching his crayons. I was surprised at him. I said to him, �gI�fm sorry. I�fm sorry.�h After he walked around his room, shouting something, he started to draw again. A few minutes later, I said, �gI�fm sorry, bye.�h Then, I went back to my house. I talked strangely with him for the first time. I found him to be just a friend. The next day, I went to his house again. I said, �gHi, Ken.�h He said, �gHi.�h He did not look at me. He was drawing buses. I drew half a bus and showed it to him. Then he started to draw the bus. When he finished drawing, we clapped our hands. |
