Far across the world, Ashanti is playing Da Ga with her friends. It's Ashanti's turn to be Da Ga, the boa constrictor, so she goes into the center of the circle. Her friends dance and skip around her while she acts like a snake and tries to tag the next Da Ga. It's fun to catch them. Ashanti is tagging a friend when something red drops out of the sky into the circle. Where did this come from? There is no ball in Da Ga! Ashanti laughs. She bounces the ball as hard as she can. It flies high and fast across the sky until she can't see it anymore. It flies over a forest, white clifts, and a big blue ocean. Far away, Hyo and his brother are playing Omok. Hyo plays with little dark pebbles, and his brother plays with little white ones. Hyo tries to line up five of his stones to win. Winning isn't easy. Hyo is finding the perfect place to put his stone when something red rolls into the middle of the game. What's this? You don't need a ball to play Omok! Hyo smiles. Then he throws the ball as hard as he can. It flies far into the sky, over plains and seas. The Fernandez family is playing La Thunkuna. Papa draws boxes in the sand. Mama writes names in the boxes, one for each day of the week Matias tosses a stone, and Maria jumps over it. She lands in the next box without stepping on the line. Maria likes landing on one foot, and she puts her arms out to keep her balance. Something round bounces on her foot. Hey! What's this? There is no ball in this game! Everyone laughs. Maria tosses the ball in the air, and Matias kicks it up into the sky. The whole family watches the ball goes up and up until they can't see it anymore. High in the sky, the ball flies over lakes, canyons, and streams. Carlos holds out his arms and catches his red rubber ball. He is the only boy playing on Antuco Mountain today, but he is not sad. Carlos has friends all over the world.
