Boy Aster and Alastor were neighbors who did not know each other. One day Alastor was walking down the street and was attacked and bitten by Aster's father's dog. Alastor's mother went outside and she and Alastor's father began to argue. Little Aster approached his father. Aster's father took his son in his arms and they went home (Alastor were eleven years old,Aster were seven years old).
