Jada and Kaylon walk into Central Park everyday at their lunch break. There is a Starbucks coffee right on the corner of 5th and 6th avenue that they both go to. Jada and Kaylon walk through the Park and sit on the same bench everyday. Today though, was just a little different.
Jada and Kaylon walk to Starbucks like every lunch break, and they went to the bench in the park. They got to the bench when they saw an older looking man standing on top of the bench with signs in his hand.
"What is going on," Kaylon said while she was walking towards the bench.
The two of them reached the bench. The man standing on top had on a bodysuit with meat on it. He also had gloves on his hands and a knife in his right hand. Kaylon and Jada backed up from the bench to see the signs.
"Why does he have on a meat suit," Jada asked.
The signs in his hand says"No Meat Or I'll Die". Jada and Kaylon were frightened.
"Should we talk to him about it," Kaylon asked.
"I think we should," Jada said.n "He should not kill himself over a piece of meat."
They both walked up to the man, frightened that he might swing with his knife.
"Hey, sir," Jada said quietly. "Sir, can I talk to you."
The man looked down at Jada and Kaylon and got down from the bench.
"What do you all want," he said. "I am in the middle of protesting."
"Why are you holding a knife in your hand," Kaylon said. That is dangerous."
He turned around and looked at the girls, "I do not mean to scare or harm anyone. I just wanted to protest against people eating meat."
Kaylon and Jada sat down and explained to him that eating meat is not so bad and that people have other opinions in this world. Some people may agree with him and some may not. The man understood what they were saying and thanked them for talking to him.
Everyday Kaylon and Jada sit on that same bench, they are reminded of the man in the meat suit with a knife in his hands.
