Eric was terribly ill. He couldn’t move and had to spend all day in bed. Because his friends were not allowed to go near him, he felt quite       . Every day he just looked out of the       , doing nothing at all. As time passed, Eric became more and more hopeless.
One day, however, he saw something very        in the window. A panda was eating sandwiches there! Eric was very surprised. Before he could find out what had happened, he saw a monkey playing the violin. After a while, he saw more and more        characters outside the window. This time he began to       a lot and could hardly stop.
No one would stop laughing when they saw a pig playing a drum, or a dog        a pair of glasses and acting like a teacher. Eric didn’t tell anyone about this         he thought nobody would believe this. Anyway, those strange characters brought happiness back into his heart. Soon he got well and was able to go back to school again.
When class was over. Eric told his      about all the strange things he had seen. While he was talking, he saw something coming out of Tom’s      . He wanted very much to know what it was, so he asked Tom again and again. Finally Tom had to         him what was in the bag. There, inside, were all the fancy-dress (假面) toys that Tom had used to cheer him up!
And from that day on, Eric always did his best to make sure that no one was sad or lonely.
