The fast red boy can also come and the little yellow girl. Auntie and Granny can also come. Also the violet girl can come. But not Papi's friends. I don't like Papi's friends.
Papi's friends talk, and talk, and talk. Papi's friends are boring, they don't know how to play. Papi's friend think I am a baby. Some Papi's friends think I am an adult. Papi's friends are very strange people.
The doorbell is ringing. Oh! No! I don't want them.

Let me get my toys. I don't want Papi's friends playing with my toys. I'll take the chuchu train, and woody cowboy, and cactus jack, and the cow, the elephant and the skyrocket. I am going with my toys to my tent. I like my tent, it is so nice to be playing and nobody looking at me.
Oh, not, the voices of Papi's friends. They talk so loud. I am going to fetch the small tablet to see my movies. When I listen at the movies I don't have to listen to Papi's friends.
"Hello Little Girl, can we come in your tent?", said one of Papi's friend.
"NO! You are too big!", I answered.
Papi's friends are also dumb, they can't see they don't fit into my tent.
"Hello Little Girl, I have a beautiful book for you about a bear that rides a bicycle!", said another of Papi's friend.
"Oh! can I see it?", I asked.
"Yes, of course, it is for you", said the nice Papi friend.
"Can you read the book for me?"
"OK! Let's read the story..." said the nice Papi friend. The other Papi's friends joined to listen to the story.
"Once upon a time, there was a small brown bear..." the nice friend was reading the book.
Papi's friends are the best friends in the world.

With a small hint of fear, the Little Girl approach with the hand to fondle the cat.

The white cat started purring. The Little Girl, started to fondle a bit faster, but the cat did not like and moved away. The Little Girl approached once more and the cat decided to climb up the bookcase.
The Little Girl went to fetch some of the cat's food and started showing the food to the cat.
"Here kitty, here...", called the Little Girl.
But the cat did not come, he couldn't be bothered with such trivial things. The cat wanted to simply relax.

The Little Girl went to fetch a ball of string and threw the ball of string to the cat.

But the cat did not come, he couldn't be bothered with such trivial things.

The Little Girl was very sad and cried "Papi, the cat does not come, I want to play with the cat."

"Cat's only play when they want, and they are more stubborn than you Little Girl", said Papi.

"What is stubborn ?", asked the Little Girl.

"Stubborn are people that do what they think without wanting any feedback from other experienced people."

"What is experienced ?", asked the Little Girl.

"Experience is what people that have tried something before learn by doing things.", explained Papi.

"Cat's don't do what other cats have tried before?", asked the Little Girl.

"You will stop calling the cat before the cat responds to your request, it only does what it wants to.", explained Papi.

"But I don't want to stop...", said the Little Girl.

"Sit on the sofa Little Girl, I will show you something."

And the Little Girl sat excitedly on the sofa.

"Be calm Little Girl.", requested Papi.

Papi went to fetch a poster and unfold it by the opposing bookcase to where the cat was.

The cat came and sat on the Little Girl's lap on the sofa.

"Now be very smooth with the cat Little Girl, fondle but very slowly".

The white cat purred while it looked at the picture of a fireplace in Papi's poster.
