Without forgetting that approximately a month ago, he had lost a bet on the game: ”The consonants go to the zoologic“. Daniel meets his cousin Andrew at a Birthday Party of a family friend.
Sitting in a corner, Daniel takes a pencil and paper and asks his cousin: ”Do you want to play a consonant game, with the names of our families?”
His cousin Andrew replies: ”Sure! I accept, but I am sure I will win again!”
They began to write without loosing time, after a few minutes Daniel exclaimed excited:
“I have finished! listen this is my list: Aunt Becky, cousin Charlie, Cousin Don, my sister Giomar, aunty Hanoi, my grandmother Hayden, my godfather Mikel, aunty Molly my uncle Peter, my cousin Victor, my mom Xena, my dad Yacov and my aunt Zahara!
After listening his cousin reading the list, Andrew said:
“Hey! that consonant list is not completed! you missed some names, listen mine: my aunt Becky, mi grandmother Catherine, my godfather Charlie, mi godmother Ciara, my cousin Daniel, my aunt Gladys, cousin Giomar, my mom Hanoi, my aunt Hayden, my uncle Jonas, uncle James, cousin Leonard,, my grandmother Molly, my grandpa Marcus, cousin Nora, cousin Sam, cousin Thomas, my cousin Victor, my aunt Xena, mu uncle Yacov and my aunt Zahara!”.
With a stern look on his face, Daniel takes the list racing to meet his mom, Andrew follows him. Xena sees him arriving sweaty and asks:
- “What´s wrong, son? Why are you running?”.
The kid shows her the list and says: “Mom, look! here is my consonants list! can you read it and say to my cousin Andrew that I won the bet!”
Xena took the list intrigued, after reading it carefully asked her nephew to show her his, after reading it too exclaimed:
- “Listen Daniel, there is no doubt that your cousin´s consonatnts list is more complete that yours. I recognize you made a big effort, son. I congratulate you both, now, come approach the table, we are going to sing happy birthday and eat cake!”.
