But then it doesn’t work. The tennis ball rolled on the chute and disappeared under the dark night sky. MB can’t get the ball and so because of that he decides to use the ladder that that man has left. So he moves the ladder towards the wall and gets nervous. Then the tall bulky bullies glared at him, knowing that MB would need to climb the ladder to get the ball. So MB edged his way up, stumbling slightly on the 2nd step before peering down at the ground as he was terrified of heights. Meanwhile, the worker was still oblivious about MB and continued looking at the magazine in his hand, laughing when he saw a new model of a cleaning mop. He coveres up the thermos and without noticing anything because he’s really clueless, starts to move the ladder back to where it was without realising that there was a person there and that he was going to jail for assaulting a person. He climbed up the ladder which made the ladder shake, and MB was terrified upon seeing that the well built man was climing up. Then he peered inside the small, narrow window and saw the man with his wife who was tired and disheveled, the man checked her temperature and shook his head, knowing that the woman was going to die soon.
