Miguel continues narrating the events of the story. In the morning, Dayara asked Miguel if she could copy his homework, and when he said she should do it herself, she grabbed his book and several illustrations fell out. Miguel felt embarrassed when Dayara complimented his artwork, but he felt frustrated by the knowledge that his father would be disappointed if he chose to pursue art instead of baseball. While picking up litter outside, Miguel and Dayara spotted the same little girl as yesterday standing outside the fence. She was holding a doll and looked distraught. Miguel introduced himself and found out that the girl’s name was Lisa. She pointed to a van and announced that she and her mother lived there, but then suddenly remembered that she was supposed to keep that fact a secret. Just then, Lisa’s mother came over and called her away. Miguel, Dayara, and Sara realized that the two were living in the van, and Miguel vowed to find a way to help them.

In the present moment, Dayara steps in to add that Miguel was not the only one who wanted to help the mother and daughter, and that she was the one to suggest doing something to help.
