The narrative is between an adult and child and is set up in playground. The child feels left out as he sees others (kids) playing. He is hesitant not because he is shy but because he is doesn't know how to play (implied). The adult understands the hesitation and the reason behind it, without the kid having to spell it out and offers to teach him the game (explicit). The boy is thrilled by this and wants to share it with his parents. His enthusiasm is short lived when he reaches home and realizes that the family is moving.
