The next day, Dario really kept his word. He came to Odette’s house to ask for food. He even brought his own plate. However, when he came, Odette still hadn’t cooked anything because the girl was having a hard time to light the fire.
“Do you want me to help you?” Dario asked the girl.
Odette hesitated for a moment, but she knew that she needed help, so she allowed Dario to enter her house. And sure enough, Dario really helped her. The man lit the fire easily. Because Dario was already in Odette’s house, he decided to help with the cooking.
Dario was not used to this kind of thing, but he still could do it well. Over time, they began to get closer and build friendship.
“By the way, what’s your name, Neighbor?” Dario looked at Odette and asked her with a smile, feigning ignorance.
“Alice.” Odette gave a fake name. "My name is Alice."
They lied to each other.
“How about you, Uncle?” Odette asked back.
“I’m Jack,” Dario lied again.
