young bikers

"Could you please move", said the boy on the bike. He was stopping right in front of my scooter, I had stopped to take pictures of the chicken in the road. I didn't understand why he was asking, since there seemed to be lots of space on bothe sides, so I said "Why don't you just move around?" But I moved a bit so he could pass in front of me and took a couple of pictures. He smiled, and suddenly I understood why he had asked..
