Anything for a Friend
Once upon a time there was a little boy that was very ill. He was so ill that he had to stay in bed the whole day, and because his illness was a very contagious one, his friends couldn’t visit him. The only thing the little boy could do was to look through the window in his room.
One day, the little boy saw something quite strange through the window. Outside there was a penguin, and it was holding a slice of salami! You can imagine that when he saw this he thought, “Well, I must be really very ill!” but that explained what he had seen, and so he calmed down and kept looking through the window. Then he saw something even stranger… A monkey wearing diapers that was blowing up a balloon! And thus the little boy kept seeing very weird things, as for instance, an elephant in a trampoline or a dog wearing glasses that spoke only about politics. The boy couldn’t stop laughing.
This cheerfulness helped the boy to get better, and after a while he was able to go back to school. Once there, talking to his best friend, he noticed that something was sticking out from inside his friend’s backpack. He asked him what it was, but his friend wouldn’t tell. After insisting several times, his friend agreed to show him what he had inside the backpack, and the boy was very happy when he saw that there was nothing less than all the animal costumes his friend had used to cheer him up when he was ill.
The two friends embraced each other, and the little boy promised that from then on he would never let any boy be alone and sad.
