A Boy with No Home

Right now in this world, there is a boy named John. He has no home, but he really wants a home. He stops to think about what it is like to have a cozy bed and a sofa. John walked for five minutes, he looked through a window and saw people who were happy cooking in the kitchen. John walked across the street and looked through a window on a door and saw… “BARK! BARK!” There was a dog in the house. John kept looking through the window and saw friends and family. They looked very comfortable, they were in the living room watching a movie on T.V. John turned around and saw a car in the driveway. People were getting in the car, so he hid behind a bush. The people who were getting in the car didn`t see him. John went to the next window and looked at the walls and the floor. John thought that they felt safe and they were. John suddenly felt safe like the people in the house. John thought that if he spends time with friends, he will feel happy, comfortable, cozy and warm because they might help him. John thought, “I don’t have any friends.” So, John walked for one minute and said.” Do you want to be my friend?” The man said, "Yes, where do you live?” “I don’t have a home.” The man said, ”Oh!” John looked backwards and saw friends and family in a house; they looked peaceful. John’s friend said, ”Do you want to stay with me?” John said, "I will definitely stay with you.” So, they walked for five minutes and saw John’s friend’s house. John looked through the window and saw inside. John walked into the house and felt happy, safe when he saw in this house the things he saw earlier. John lived well for the rest of his life. Home means having a place to live.
