Тарас просить Василя піти з ним до крамниці після школи. На жаль, Василь не може йти з Тарасом сьогодні. Тато позволив Василеві їхати до школи мотоциклом і він спішить, бо мусить негайно бути вдома після школи. Тарас думає, що Василь дуже щасливий, бо він їде додому мотоциклом, а Тарас мусить іти додому пішки!
