One day in a small neighborhood lived a nice old lady who loved her grandchildren but couldn’t visit them because her grandchild was sick and she didn’t want to get herself sick. Because of this, the grandma, known as Linda, wanted to give her grandson a million hugs and kisses but knew she couldn’t so instead she thought that she could mail a package with an old photo of them together to make sure he wouldn't miss her. So she taped up the box and gave it to the mailman to send off to her grandson. This package was no ordinary package though, once it reached the mailman’s truck, it started to talk, It then read the street address and was determined its name was Boris, and then off they went down the road.

In the back of the truck, Boris looked around and saw many more packages, it seemed as if there were a million of them. As he looked around he met one’s eyes and the room became tense but the box gladly gave a smile and greeted himself, 
“Hello, I’m Theodore, welcome to the back of the truck.”
Shyly, Boris replied, “Hi I’m Boris, You look pretty beaten up.”
Indeed he was, Theodore was rectangular and tall but had looked to have been squashed then kicked many times, like sardines in a tiny sardine can.

“Yes, that’s the biggest risk of being in this truck, the bumps and divots on the road are dangerous because the truck hits one, and boom you fly across to the other side,” Theodore added.
 It was the biggest risked but Boris knew if he stuck together with the other boxes they might not get crushed and smashed to bits. Boris thought to himself the horrors of the owner’s eyes as his package was smashed and ripped. He tried not to think about it too hard because after all he was just a package and he couldn't write his fate.

Boris is very scared on its first trip, he does not want to be crushed like an ant so he tries to be careful to not get run over or dropped by anyone or anything. Boris does have friends by him though. He realizes he is not the only one there but there are 100s but to him, it looked like thousands.  “They all seemed scared especially since one of them had already been crushed”. From outside of the truck came the sounds of squealing brakes and dense tarmac.

Boris ends up falling off the truck after going on a street that felt like there were millions of bumps and is left there all by himself, but this is no ordinary box, this box is one of the bravest boxes ever made. Even though Boris is lonely and scared. He knows that the right thing to do, and that is to try and find his owner even if it feels like they’re a billion miles apart.

The truck wasn’t the only vehicle on the road though, a small car was driving on the road when all of a sudden they hit something hard, it was the box! It flew forward off the road and onto someone’s front lawn. The driver slammed on the brakes and everyone got out of the car. The front had been a bit beaten up but it was nothing bad. However Boris was a bit shaken up, he had many dents and a few holes but it wasn't a serious hit, although Boris felt like he had been hit by a million rocks at once. He looked like a boy who had fallen off his bike 

The people ran over to the package and picked it up. They looked at the address and knew that they had to find its home. They brought it to the car and started to drive away, the car huffed and puffed like an old pipe, but eventually got moving once again. It was on its way to the house when on the radio a song played that made everyone a bit calmer, “O-o-h Child, things are gonna get easier.” It made Boris think about what his owner would say when he receives him. He always remembered one thing and it was from when he first came to life
“Love is like a dull pencil, it can be tough during times but when you sharpen it you realized the good in the pencil and the good times of love”
