Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim loved to talk to his friends. One day, Tim saw a big rock. The rock was not soft; it was harsh. Tim thought the rock was from the earth.
Tim tried to talk to the rock. "Hello, rock from the earth!" he said. But the rock did not talk back. Tim felt sad. He wanted the rock to be his friend.
Tim did not give up. He talked to the rock every day. One day, the rock talked back! "Hello, Tim!" said the rock. Tim was so happy. He and the rock became good friends. They talked and played every day.
