The chalk boy takes out the board games and they tryspeaker each one in turn. The boy is very skilled and wins most of the time. When he does, he claps his hands with glee and shouts,
"That's it!"
Unfortunately, the night passes quickly, so Tessa and Stuffie have to set off. The chalk boy's good mood immediately fades. He tries to smile, but he fails. Awkwardly, he tries to hide his disappointment as he puts the games away.
