“Naga watch lang siya [other kid] play ta’s timing last na niya na bola to. Imbis ilabay na niya nakita niya ang bata ga tanaw ddto nalng niya gihatag,” said Camay.
(The other kid was watching and then it was his last ball. Instead of throwing the last ball, he saw the kid and decided to just give the last throw to the other kid.)
