   Since I was young, There are some residents who live in our residential area.  Me with my friends  who are citizens don’t allow them to play soccer with as.  The arrivals try to join with as but we don’t accept because their nationalities are different of as.  So, they made their separate team and start playing in other area which is near our area.  Then the war is being started.  They throw their ball to our area to confuse as.  Then we took their ball and throw it away.  On the other hand, they also did whatever we did when our ball went to their area.  But nowadays we are completely tolerant people.
