the little boy who did.

once there was a little boy called johnny who had a nice blue room.

his room was a room which every little boy wanted. filled with footballs, robots and game consoles. however, there were always little things which he didn't like, thus he'll chuck it under his bed, out of sight, out of mind.

one day, johnny was playing with his toy plane, imagining that he was the Muntz! "Adventure is out there!" he shouted. through his explorer goggles, he realised that there were things popping out from under his bed. johnny scaled his bed, and peered intently under his bed. alas only to find a hoard of rubbish-ians.

the rubbish-ians came in different shapes, sizes and colours. some looked like paper, some looked like his sister's barbie dolls. they were all aliens under the valley of the bed of johnny, but they lived quietly there. never moving, never disturbing johnny.

johnny was terrified and every day he peeped into the valley of the bed of johnny, alas only to find that the rubbish-ians were still there. he hoped and prayed for it to go away, but they just remained there.

one day, johnny's dad came along and told him to clear the depths of the valley. johnny was terrified! what a perilous task it was to vacate the rubbish-ians! Johnny's dad saw how the colour was washed out of johnny's face at the mention of facing the rubbish-ians. and he said, "i'm just a call away. i will never leave you". then johnny's friends came along, brought the dustbin to johnny, made drinks for him. they did not help him with this task because this was his task and his alone. but they were there for him.

after 2 hours. johnny brought the rubbish-ians to where they rightfully belonged. in the rubbish bin. and johnny lived happily ever after knowing that his Dad was with him and his friends love and support him. this happened because he took courage and did.

the end.


in the same way as johnny did, jia you've gotta go fight the monster yourself. but know that your Dad is holding your hand and your caregroup is here to support you through. we're praying for you. take courage and get well soon!
