Story 16: Friday is a Good Day









(Click here to hear audio.)

We, my brothers and sisters, do some things for fun. Friday is a good day. Lots of other days we have to work hard. So on Friday we watch tv together. We play around. That’s fun. We play cards, all different fun games. I don’t play a lot. My little brother, Raiss, he’s the second son. He’s smart. We sit down and watch tv. I always do those things, but they like playing cards.

We’ve got a game. It’s really fun. My little sister, her name is Amina, she likes to play the game, but she cries. She sits like this, sad. You don’t want to laugh. If you laugh, people will keep hitting you, just hit you. Or I will sit—we sit in a circle—then I will do something funny. If you laugh, people will pinch you. She likes playing that game. She says, “Let’s play, ” and then she cries. I hit the guy sitting next to me, and they hit others. Then you hit me and I hit these guys. That’s how we play. Not hard, but you know. You don’t have to laugh. Sometimes you tickle them. If you laugh, they’ll hit you. It’s not hard. It’s just a game. She cries for real, but she likes the game. Even if you tell her something from a joke, she cries.
