If I had a toy - Gonzalo Perez 2ºAR

LONELINESS

If I had a toy I wouldn’t be alone. I haven’t got any person tostay with.  I haven’t got a family or a friend. I haven’t got a house, I´m alone in the forest. I just eat fruit. I drink dirty water. If I had a toy I would have something to be with. I will play with somebody because when I was young my parents abandoned me in the forest. When I have to cry, what I do is go to the river and begin to cry until it’s late and I’m tired. I want to have a toy because when I get up I would see something. It’s hard to get up every day and look around you and see you’re alone. I’m hungry because I only eat fruit and fruit isn’t enough for any person to keep healthy. I´m extremely weak.

Once, I decided to try to escape from this forest. I found a small village. I came around with a person. That person began to laugh, I didn´t understand why that person was laughing at me. He asked me why I was naked. He called two children and he told them that there was something hilarious there. The man was twenty years old. When those children arrived they began to laugh. What I was feeling in that moment was that I wanted to be their friend even if I didn’t get on well with them. When I was trying to talk with them a bell rang. It was a school bell. A hundred children left the school shouting.

I decided to go away from that place. I was feeling sad, very sad. I haven’t got any friends, clothes or a school. I was jealous of those people. I decided to finish with everything. I´m going to jump from a tree of three hundred meters. Suddenly I got up; it was a dream, a bad dream. I’m in my house, in my huge house. I hope that will never happen to me.
