The Mall

When the boys saw Jody, she was carrying a big paper bag. Jody put a name on each card and wrapped it up. Loel went right up to her and grabbed the paper bag from her.

"I'll take it." Loel said, "Take the paper bag," and he did.

Jody let go of the bag so that Loel could pick it up. Zev and his other friends are still not with them.

Jody asked, "Where are they?"

"We just want to find them. Should we split up?" Jack asked. "You two are with Zev, and we're with the girls?"

"Alright. It's better to search separately." Loel said.

The group of boys walked to the other side while Loel and Jody went straight ahead. That mall is a little small.

"It looks like a lot," Loel said after they had been quiet for a few seconds.

Jody said, "Of course you all have."

"Really. It looks like the Christmas present will be important to me." Loel said, laughing.

"Loel?"

When Loel's name was called, both he and Jody turned around.
