Tommy had been sick for a few days. Every morning while lying in his bed, he would watch stream of vehicles from the window. One day he saw a wind swept across. Leaves fell from the trees and twirled down the road. He watched the leaves dancing and chasing one another with envy. He wished he could be as free as the leaves. He shut his eyes and suddenly found himself among those carefree leaves–gliding down, flying in the air and resting on the roofs, and then leaping back on the road. Just then, a strong wind blew again and swept Tommy away towards the garbage dump. He heard a voice. It was his mother crying to wake him up. He told his mother, “Mother, I want to play like those leaves.” “But you need to get well soon, Tommy. First take your medicines and eat fruits and green vegetables. Drink milk to grow well and strong!” Tommy looked at the leaves again and was lost in his dream.
Get Well Soon, Tommy
