was getting better. But then he learnt that I had made
friends with Big Wang and his mood was getting
worse again. He knew Big Wang. She once was a

bed wondering whether Big Wang would ring me,
the man of the mail room shouted loudly down the
corridor, “Soapy is wanted on the phone!” I jumped
out of my bed and quickly ran to the mail room to
receive the phone. It was Big Wang. She asked me to
meet her at the small woods in the park.
