" Then she rolled away quickly , running off like a troublemaker after making a scene . Julius's face turned red . This smart - aleck wasn't his idea . It had to be Harold .

Sherry felt bad for him and hugged his arm gently . Uncle Julius , come on . Just come with me . Please ." Julius was firm on this . Sherry kept nagging , but it didn't budge him . As Sherry frowned , Harold walked in . Without a word , he picked Julius up and placed him in the wheelchair . Then he turned to Sherry and said , " Let's go . " " Harold ! " Julius shouted , gripping the chair arms tightly . His veins bulged , and his face turned pale . But Harold ignored Julius's shouting and pushed Julius out firmly . Sunlight hit Julius's face , and he covered his eyes . It had been a long time since he'd been out . The strange looks made him uneasy , and his face grew paler .

She turned to the goal net and asked , " Can we stop them from scoring ? " " Sure . " Yoel nodded , feeling down . " But how ? They've got eight goals , we've only got two . We're way behind ."
