<< You didn’t see it first>>, Amir said << I saw it first. Give it back to me >>.

He pulled the bag out of Mochtar’s hand. Then Mochtar hit him and he fell to the ground. He picked up a stone and threw it at Mochtar. Soon the two boys were fighting.

Then the old man came along. He looked unhappy. << Stopfighting, boys >>,

He said. << Stop fighting and help me >>,

The boys stopped fighting.

The old man looked at the two boys. They were and their clothes were torn. He opened his bag. << your cloathes are torn >>, he said, << have a few buttons >>.
