Yaeli has a dinosaur painting hanging on her bedroom wall.

She doesn't look at it.

Liri gives her a lot of dinosaur paintings-

He loves her.

Yaeli doesn't love Liri,

But she likes his paintings so she takes them.

She doesn’t pay attention to him.

Liri continues painting the dinosaurs

But he puts less effort in, because she

Doesn't

Seem

To care.

Yaeli thinks his dinosaurs are ugly-

She threw them away.

Liri sees his dinosaurs in the bin.

He stops painting for her.

Yaeli looks at the painting on her wall,

And cries.
