Art
Two girls
Sitting in the food court
Paper and pencil
Drawing pictures
Imaginary characters
Concentrating
Visualizing
Their drawings
Each character in their own imagination
A few minutes passed
Like a breeze
One girl smiled
Suggested a competition
"Who could draw the best?"
The other girl accepted
They quickly got to work
The fire burned inside
The second girl's hand
Did not try to hesitate
But the hand did not know
How to draw so perfect
The first girl gently stroked the pencil
The second girl glared
Told herself,
"I could do better"
After a couple of minutes
The two girls compared
Who was the best
Suddenly an argument broke
The second girl bragged
The first girl knew how to treat a friend
The second girl forgot how to be a good friend
She judged the other girl's drawing
She instantly claimed the title
Both
Got
Quiet
And pushed the drawings aside
