The girls helped ba ba sweep. The tools were hard to maneuver. Xiao E slouch troll walked, Mimi had trouble moving the rake on the pavement. They were offered branches. They discarded the branches and picked up the tools. Ba ba finished sweeping, the tools were confiscated with a promise for bubbles. Ma ma put the tools away. Mimi followed. Ma ma came out, xiao E was at the door under the ledge where bubbles rested, expectantly "en"'ed at ma ma. When xiao E was playing, if gor gor stared at her, she would say "ella 在做什么?".

GuoQing shu shu asked jer what was wrong, she said "刀没了" in the whiniest voice. Shu shu quickly found a knife for her. She took a piece of fruit, pushed hard and cut it open. She straightened her back, tilted her head up, held the knife tightly in her hand and the other fist raised on her side, said crisply "HA HA HA HA HA". She cut another piece and HA'ed again.
