1. Manual and Damien are playing in the sandbox. Manual wants Damien's shovel, so he takes it. Damien begins to cry, but Manual continues to play, unaffected. Damien comes running to you, saying, "He took my shovel."
2. Latoya has been standing, watching the others climbing the rock wall. It seems as if she'd like to join in, yet makes no move to do so.
3. Tommy has a dilemma. He was just invited to a movie with Chuck, but his best friend, Mohammad, has not been asked to come and asks him to spend the night on the same date.
