Kids

There is this boy he is always alone no friends with nothing to do. He lives with his mom in the woods just them no one else for miles , and miles away. She never trusted anyone , she never had much of a family. She thought her and her son was everything she needed. She never noticed how lonely her boy was he always playing in the backyard alone. Always alone except for when him and his mom take walks back into the woods. He loves the woods he talks to the animals Everytime he goes on these walks. He imagines they talk back but he knows animals can't talk. Animals talk that's silly right? Yea you're right animals don't talk back. He says hello fox , hello , ratcoon , hello , bird , hello squirrel , and hello Mr possum. Most of all the animals he sees on the daily trips in the woods he has with his mom. He also looks forward to weekly trips into town. He's always talking to the town's Clark Mr Rodgers , such a nice man always loves hearing the boys stories. The Clark always has their grocery order in before walking in since he always orders the same groceries every time. The town is small so Mr Rodgers knows everyone that comes and goes. The boys mom likes to be in and out she doesn't like to talk to much people so the boy doesn't have much time to talk to anyone. He would give one day to talk to just one town kid. He hates being alone he would love to have friends. The boy , and his mom has same routine everyday , breakfast first thing in the morning , daily walks in the woods , lunch outside on their patio. She goes in does her daily chores while he plays in the backyard, and then they have dinner together on the couch watching TV. He tired of the same routine he wants friends. His mom tells him the same thing all the time you don't need friends when you have me. The next day started out like any other day but when his mom went inside the boy seen a glow. The glow was shinny and , gold it whispered to him , it said come along. He said no at first my mom said I can't leave alone specially not in the woods. The glowing , and shinning thing got closer it started to look like a rope. The boy said a glowing , shinning rope talking that doesn't make sense. He went along with it anyways even though he wasn't sure. The boy followed the voice of the glowing shinny rope anyways. The rope whispered it's okay let's go. He made the decision to follow it he walked for miles , and miles , before he knew it he was far away from home. The shinny light went out and the boy notice it was dark and he was lost , and started to cry. He said crying out are you still there where did you go. I'm all alone out here you said if would be okay you lied to me. I'm scared it's not funny is this a joke to you the boy asked. I wanna go home now I should of never left my house the boy shouted. He kept crying sitting on a stump because no one is answering him. He finally got up and stopped crying said to himself I guess I will try to find my way back home now. Then he felt a tap on the shoulder with a voice no don't go. The boy turned around and seen a little witch behind him. He seen the gold , glowing , shinning rope in her hands , she looked friendly so the boy wants scared of her. She said hi my name is Goldy I can make make anything with my golden rope I want would you like to play. The boy said I should be finding my way home I bet my mom is worried. Please play with me the witch said I have no friends. The boy knew what that was like so he agreed. He said okay for a little while then I must get back to my mom. The little girl witch agreed they played the rest of the night. She made a train to drive and a dragon for them to fly everything you could imagine she made it with her rope. The boy said I can't believe how much fun we had in one night. Can we do it again tomorrow the boy asked? Goldy the little witch girl laughed and said yes I can't wait. She lead him back home into his backyard. The glowing shinning rope lit up the sky saying friendship. The boy looked up and said yes the best. The boy ran in and told his mom everything. She laughed and said you have a great imagination as if he even left at all. So every night the boy went out with Goldy. She made an adventure for them with her shinning glowing rope. Every night wad different this night was race cars and a race track. The boy kept his routine with his mom with no more complaining about having friends. He enjoyed his time with his mom but he couldn't wait for every evening with Goldy. He always couldn't wait to see what Goldy had him each night. This night was a carousel , and a loopy loop slide. Glody enjoyed her time with the boy she hoping it never ends. The boy felt the same neither one of them had a friendship like this. Goldy's mom told her not to make friends with a human they would be afraid and never understood witches. Goldy would be in big trouble if her mom knew she was friends with a human. Goldy wished her mom could see how hornless it is to play with a human. They played and played for weeks becoming best friends. One night Goldy made them swings , and jumped off to see who can jump the farthest. Goldy won every time but cheated every turn since she could fly. That night was the last night they seen each other in awhile , do to the fact Goldy's mom caught her with a human. She told Goldy to come here she didn't even have a chance to explain. Goldy's mom didn't give the boy a chance all she seen was a human. A human and a witch can't be friends they just can't. The boy went back to being alone and sad no one to play with. He waited every night waiting for Goldy hoping she would maybe sneak out but nothing. Weeks went by still no Goldy so one night the boy left to look for Goldy went deep into the woods. He couldn't find her he was about to give up and until he seen a hidden spot in the woods. The hidden spot is a tunnel was a stump covering it. The boy crowled through the tunnel and seen a witch village. He thought he could find Goldy. We walked all through the village until he got to the end of the village. He noticed the glowing shinny rope out of a window so he ran right to it. Goldy it's you it's really you , the boy yelled with excitement. She said hurry up climb in before my mom sees you. She made the boy a ladder with her rope and he climbed into her window. She said we don't have much time before my mom gets home I can't have you here when she gets back. She put a robe on him said he can't risk walking in town in regular clothes again. They played a little bit before leaving and then back to the woods he went. She said you can't come back again I can't risk you getting caught. The boy didn't listen the next night the same but he got caught by his mom. She asked him what are you doing out in the woods alone? He said I'm going to visit my friend Goldy. She told him that is fine you and Goldy can play in the backyard. The boys mom said that thinking Goldy was imaginary friend. No mom he said she is real then he started to run. He ran an ran until he came to the tunnel and was about to crawl in it until his mom grabbed him and said come on. He then said no mom you don't listen Goldy is real and I'm going to prove it. They both crawled into the tunnel and there it was witch village. The boy leaf the way to Goldy's house they knocked on the door. Goldy's mom answered the door and shut the door right in their face. She yelled go away humans you're kind is not wanted here. Goldy opened the door please mom just listen. The boys mom said my son lead me here maybe you should give him a chance. She said fine and they started playing in Goldy's room and the mom's started to talk. Goldy's mom made tea and cookies , and those two started talking seamed like they had more in common. The mom's started a friendship of their own
