Wes and Shea tag a wall on the streets. They are proud of their work. Wes tells, "As i put the can back in Shea's bag, I looked in awe at my amazing work."
Holy moly! Crazy Asain man!
Wes! I grant your wish! Go back in time, and make the right choice!
The police spot the two and arrest them. Wes and Shea are hauled off to jail. Wes explains in the book The Other Wes Moore, "I was wincing because of the handcuffs hurting my wrist, but i was also very fearful about what would happen next."
Make the right choice!
Wes let's tag this wall!
Shea talks down on Wes for being scared of jail. Wes wishes he didn't get arrested and is very scared in jail.
No! I am not going to go to jail! I'm gonna focus on my future!
Whatever loser! Screw you!
The mythical wizard, Crazy Asian Man, appears from the air and has heard Wes's wish. He gives Wes a chance by sending him back in time.
Wes remembers Crazy Asian Man's final words to him- "Make the right choice."
Wes decides to go against Shea and say no to criminal activity. Wes decides he needs to focus on his future, and jail will ruin that. Shea is very mad, and calls Wes a loser, leaving him forever. Wes focuses on school and gets out of poverty.
