Parcel boy. A story from Olivia

Hello.
My name is Olivia.
Now I will tell you a story!
Do not be afraid! This story is not scary!
VILLAGE OF SERIOUS PEOPLE

There lived a boy. The boy had a family, but he knew that this family was not his own, he was a foundling.

The boy's dad once found him on a fishing trip, he heard a child crying. The boy, who was no more than a month old, was lying in a box that was packed like a package. The box lay in a boat that floated freely on the waves.

The boy's mother was waiting for her husband that evening with a catch, but instead of fish, the husband brought a naked one-month-old baby. The family that evening was left without dinner, but they had a son.

Years passed, the boy grew up. He loved his adoptive parents very much, they were kind to him and did not refuse anything, but still he really wanted to know who his real parents were. And the boy didn’t like that his parents and neighbors were always sad and too serious, and the boy himself liked to play pranks and laugh.

And then one day the boy took his favorite toy car with him and hit the road. He walked and walked and came to another village.

STOP FIRST. VILLAGE OF FAT PEOPLE

Fat people lived in this village. Fat people were glad that they had a guest and began to treat the boy. In each house, he was offered cakes, pastries, ice cream, as well as meatballs, dumplings, kebabs and other goodies.
The village was large, the boy moved from house to house, when he left the sixth house, he felt that his stomach was puffed up like a ball, and it was hard for him to walk and carry his stomach.
The inhabitants of the houses went out onto the porch, smiled affectionately and called the boy to visit, and treats were already on their tables.
The boy realized that a little more and he would just burst, and just ran away from the village.

When he came out of the gate, he even got stuck. He had a big belly.

STOP TWO. VILLAGE OF THIN PEOPLE

Near the village of fat people there was a field, and beyond the field there was a road. The boy walked and walked, but the road did not end. Only in the evening the houses of another village appeared ahead.

It was a village of thin people. By this time, the boy was already hungry, he went into one of the houses and asked for food, but they gave him only a glass of water.

The boy spent the night not far from the village, in a haystack, and in the morning he moved on.

STOP THREE. VILLAGE OF EVIL PEOPLE

He did not walk for long, a large village appeared in an hour.
Evil people lived in this village. Above each house hung a sign - a knife, an ax, a gun, a scalpel, a pistol, and so on.

The boy wanted to enter one of the houses,
but an evil man came out with an ax and shook his finger at the boy. The boy did not ask anything, but simply ran away. He ran and saw how people came out of the houses, and everyone had some kind of weapon or a sharp object in their hands.

STOP FOUR. VILLAGE OF FUNNY BUT STRANGE PEOPLE

It was noon when the boy entered the village he was looking for. There were cheerful people on the street, they danced, laughed and joked with each other.

The boy was delighted, he also stood in a round dance, laughed and sang songs.

And then the boy was offered a treat. It was a hamburger. The boy was very fond of hamburgers and began to eat it with pleasure, he swallowed a hamburger in large pieces, without even chewing, and then felt pain. Spitting out a piece of hamburger, he saw a nail. Blood flowed from his mouth, the boy scratched his tongue. The villagers laughed so hard that they even began to hiccup. They rolled on the ground and pointed at the boy with their finger.

The boy cried and left.

The village was big, the boy went into the houses and asked if a man and a woman had lost their child six years ago?

People nodded, laughed, and sent him to the neighbors. The neighbors laughed and sent him to other neighbors.

Finally, when the boy was tired, a policeman came out of the big house. The policeman was cheerful, he also wanted to play the boy, but saw with regret that the boy was tired and crying. Upon learning that the boy was looking for his parents, the policeman took him to the house where the husband and wife lived, who many years ago were left without a son.

The husband and wife confirmed that they had a baby son six years ago.

They were very happy with the guest. The boy really wanted to sleep, and therefore decided to leave all the talk for tomorrow.

At three o'clock in the morning the boy woke up in pain. Matches were inserted into his toes, which someone set fire to. Dropping burning matches on the floor, the boy saw that his parents were standing next to the bed and laughing. They also, like the rest of the villagers, were very happy about their joke. When the boy began to cry, they laughed even more and said that he was not behaving properly.

And then they said that six years ago they came up with a very funny joke. When the baby was one month old, they packed the son as a parcel and sent him on a boat to an unknown sender.

The whole village helped the young parents, and everyone laughed a lot. The chief policeman did not even spare his boat, and the head of the post office packed the package with the child for free.

Six years have passed, but the villagers still consider the joke with the baby parcel to be the best joke.

RETURN TO THE VILLAGE OF SERIOUS PEOPLE

In the morning wheneveryone was still sleeping, the boy dressed quietly, took his toy car, and set off on his way back.

The boy missed his adoptive parents very much.

And he also understood two truths, you need to chew food for a long time, and if you feel good, then you don’t need to change anything in your life, you don’t have to leave home.

They don't look for good from good!
