Ben and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They also like to draw with chalk on the ground. They draw big zigzags and small zigzags and zigzags of many colors.
One day, Jen is sick. She cannot go to the park with Ben. Ben is sad. He misses Jen. He goes to the park alone. He sees the zigzags they drew yesterday. He wants to draw more zigzags with Jen. He says to himself, "I wish Jen was here."
He sees a man sitting on a bench. The man is bald. He has no hair on his head. He looks lonely. Ben walks up to him and says, "Hello, sir. Do you want to draw with me?"
The man smiles. He says, "Sure, kid. I would love to draw with you. What do you want to draw?"
Ben says, "Zigzags. They are my favorite. And Jen's favorite too. She is my friend. But she is sick today. I miss her."
The man says, "I'm sorry to hear that. I miss someone too. She was my wife. But she is gone now. She had hair like the sun. She loved zigzags too."
Ben and the man draw zigzags together. They use all the colors of the chalk. They make the ground look like a rainbow. They talk and laugh and have fun. They feel less sad and more happy.
They finish their drawing. They look at it and smile. They say, "It's beautiful. It's for Jen and for her."
They hug each other. They say, "Thank you. You are my friend."
They go home. They hope to see each other again. They hope to see Jen and her again. They do not forget the zigzags. They do not forget the love.
