There’s a Thing on my street.
He lives at number 52.
I see him sitting in his garden when I walk to school.

The girl didn’t think he had any friends, so she brought him a flower.
It wasn’t long before their friendship bloomed… the Thing was gentle and kind, and the adventures they went on were the best she could ever imagine.

But one day the Thing had to go and their adventures came to an end.

All Things have to go sometime…

In this poignant story, discover how small acts of kindness can grow into great friendships, and how the community you build from those friendships can provide comfort and companionship when you need it most.…
