At Powell Vila, Leon was playing blocks with Oliver when suddenly Oliver’s block castle collapsed
Oliver pointed at Leon “You knocked it over. You’re mean.”
Lean looked completely baffled. He hadn’t even touched Oliver’s blocks.
“What happened, Oliver!” Eliza asked.
As soon as Oliver saw Eliza, he became even more certain in his accusation. “Mommy, it was Leon. He knocked down my castle”
