On the wings of life: one day at a time.
3. Toys
Goku was curiously studying his son's movements on the soft, coloured carpet of the room. He was surrounded by all of the toys that Gyumao, Chichi's father, gave him. It was quite funny to watch him taking the toys with his tiny hands, observing each one of them, sometimes making a laugh and then putting them down. There was a small maracas he liked to shake. And when it was a teddy bear, he showed an enthusiastic expression and seemed to talk to it. However, there was one toy in particular that caught his attention more than the others, and Goku himself couldn't help but be intrigued and curious to test it.
It was just a small cube, made of even smaller cubes. Gohan studied it for a while, without understanding how it worked. So he addressed his father to ask for some help. He crawled to his father's knees and gave him the mysterious object. But Goku had no idea how the thing worked. He decided to go ask Chichi.
Maybe she knows something about it…
He found his wife downstair, busy with lunch.
«Chichi, honey, what's this?»
The woman turned around, continuing her work, and observed the small cube Goku was showing her. She laughed a bit and turned around, showing him her back.
«It doesn't surprise me you don't know about it. The Rubik's cube is a game for intelligent people. I bought it for our little Gohan, and I bet he'll solve it before you do.»
«And… how does it work?»
«Each side of the cube must have nine squares of the same colour.»
Goku decided it was better not to ask any further question. This situation is quite complicated, that's for sure…
The Saiyan went back to Gohan's room. The baby was waiting for him, silently sitting on the carpet. Goku closed the door and scratched his head, embarrassed. He gave the toy to his son. However, he didn't show any interest in it and soon left it among the other toys.
«Chichi! Chichi! I did it!»
«What is it that you did, Goku?»
Chichi looked at her husband. On his hands he was showing the Rubik's cube, unexpectedly solved. Surprised, she got closer and observed the cube.
It's not possible, I can't believe he actually made it!
She then used one hand to take the cube and check, but the smaller cubes that made the toy weren't glued together and fell to the ground.
«Goku…»
