I am the Winner
August 25, 2019
By the storytellers of Butterfly Unit, Simblija Gardens
It's a flat race - the end of the race - Athletics.
They're careful to eat the right food - they like soup - vegetable soup They raise their arms - the competitors Bill & Ben.
They run from side to side whilst the others have stopped to see them.
They're clapping for them on a street in England.
He knows how to play football
But it could be a race, won by the one raising his arms.
The ones on the right, they could be judges.
There's the smell of grass and perspiration but over there it's a bit cooler.
It was an overcast day - always like that especially when you want to do anything.
It's visible because they're carrying umbrellas.
He's singing something happy like ' I am the winner'
The other one is tired because of the run.
It's all in his face.
They both dream of getting first place, a prize...
It was a tie, or the 2nd one will stop.
There will be a fight at the end.
The supporters are screaming, cheering.
One will be happy and one will be sad -
They celebrate using a rattle.
They became friends at the end.
They both got married and would not tell their secret.
