The Problem

Mai is teaching her friend Sam sign language by showing her the signs and the actual object of what she is trying to teach.

Another problem that I saw in the story was that Mai thought they were hiding behind rocks while Sam was running up a hill so there was some miscommunication for that part of the story. they both did not realize so they compromise.
