A boy and his friend Roy decide whether or not to go to the park. The boy doesn't want to and keeps telling Roy that he hates the park. Roy, however, tries to convince him and says there is nowhere else they can go. They walk to the park. On the way, they see neighbors sitting on the stoops of their houses and enjoying the cool breeze. At the park, the boys decide to walk through the paved lane around it. On the other end of the park, they see two girls sitting on a bench. They try to talk to the girls and get them to walk with them, but the girls ignore them. The girls look down as the boys try to flirt with them. When Roy asks the girls why they can't answer, one girl glares at him angrily while the other begins to cry. The girl who stared at Roy takes the crying girl's hand, and the girls walk away and down the paved lane. The boys follow the girls from a distance. At the park's exit, the girls communicate with each other by making motions with their fingers and hands. When the boys realize the girls did not respond because they are deaf, Roy says they probably did want to go out with them but couldn't tell them. The boys continue walking. Roy says the girls must not enjoy themselves at all. The other retorts that they have their own people and can probably find boyfriends that way. At nightfall, Roy complains that their night has been ruined by that encounter, and the other boy argues that he told Roy not to go to the park.
