Once upon a time there was a little boy who became very ill. He had to spend all day in bed, unable to move. Because other children weren't allowed to come near him, he felt1and blue.
There wasn't much he could do except look out of the window. Time passed, and his feeling of hopelessness just2, until one day he saw something strange in the window. It was a bird eating a sausage sandwich. The bird came in, said "good afternoon" to the boy, turned around, and left.
Of course, the boy was very surprised. He was still trying to3what had happened, when outside his window he saw a monkey blowing up a balloon. After a while, as more and more crazylooking characters4 outside the window, he laughed happily. 5when seeing a pig playing the guitar or a dog wearing a pair of glasses and singing. The little boy didn't tell anyone about this6 ,who would have believed him? Even so, those strange characters ended up putting joy back in his 7 , and in his body. Before long, his health had improved so much that he was able to go back to school again.
There he got to talk to his friends, and told them all the 8things he had seen. While talking, he saw something sticking(伸出)out of his best friend's school bag. The boy asked him what it was, and finally his friend had to 9him what was in the bag.
There, inside, were all the fancy-dress suits and disguises(伪装)that his best friend had been using to try to 10 the little boy up!
From that day on, the little boy always did his best to make sure that no one felt sad and alone.
