In a small little town in the Midwest, there lived this little boy named Troy. He lived in a big house with a big backyard and a big pool. His parents were very rich and could afford to give Troy a very nice life. 

    One day, Troy was playing soccer in the woods behind his house. He was kicking the ball left, right, and center. He kicked it into a tree and it bounced down a hill. Troy went to search for the ball when he found a damaged bridge.

On the bridge, there stood a little boy around Troy's age and Troy decided to introduce himself. 

    "Hi my name's Troy. What's yours?" he asked.               "My name is Abed." the boy replied.

Troy asked Abed if he wanted to play some soccer and he agreed. That is how their long friendship began.

    Troy and Abed were friends for a while, spending every day with each other, when Troy invited Abed over for dinner.    

 When Abed arrived at Troy's house he saw that Troy had a much bigger house than him. Abed was living in poverty. 

    Troy's family welcomed Abed very nicely. They sat down and ate dinner. Before Troy's mother put the food on the table, Troy's dog Ben ran up to Abed and ran laps playfully around him. Abed felt very welcome in Troy's house. After a while Troy's mom finally brought the food.  Abed had not seen this much food on the table in his life. He ate and ate and when he was full he started stuffing his pockets with food to give to his family. 

    Troy's mom asked him "Abed what are you doing?" 

At that moment, Abed got scared because he thought that he was in trouble and ran out of the house. He ran straight to the bridge where the two friends met and cried because he didn't feel welcome in Troy's house. Rain was pouring and the bridge was starting to make weird noises. Troy had no idea where Abed Was and he ran in the rain, with his dog to search for Abed all over the forest. The dog followed Abed's scent and after some time it led Troy to the bridge. They got to the bridge and there was a storm beginning to brew. 

    Troy yelled "Abed what are you doing? Please come back!"
