There once was a boy who hated to be outside. Everytime he went outside he did not like the way the wind felt on his face. He disliked the people he met during the day and he hated the rain. On a cold winter day, he decided it was enough and wanted to stay inside forever. He ordered his groceries, he played video games all day long. What a life right? Well, after 1 month, he already started to miss the wind, the rain and even the people he used to meet. When he got outside again…. He loved it. Sometimes life is about appreciating the little things.
