Little friends

In the middle of a village celebration, a little girl is sitting in the grass, crying because her mother scolded her.
A friend of hers, a boy a few years older, comes to sit next to her with a plane tree leaf in his hand and starts showing her how to rip the leaf in such a way that only the veins remain. The girl watches, fascinated. When he's done, the boy starts the same trick on another leaf and gives her one to try it as well.
After a while, seeing that the girl is entertained and has stopped crying, the boy leaves, quietly, the way he came.
