The Boy Who Likes To Cry

Once upon a time, there lived a boy called Simon. Since he was born, he likes to cry. He always cry because he doesn't gets what he wanted. He also do not have a single friend. He does not know why nobody wants to friend him. He asked his mother "why??" but his mother don't even know why. So, he pleaded with his mother to find out the reason.

One day, his mother finally found out why Simon had no friends. His mother decided that on Simon's coming birthday, she would tell him the secret as a present to him.

Finally, the long awaited birthday morning came. After celebrating his birthday, his mother asked him to come to her room to give him a present. So, Simon happily went with his mother to her room. In the room, the mother told him the secret of why nobody wants to be his friend.

Simon shouted at his mother and said,"I don't want this stupid present of a secret. I want something else." But his mother replied, "This is the best present for you because it will cause you to have friends."

"OK, do you want friends?" asked his mother. Simon said, "I want, but I don't want this present. I want a "thing" as a present." Simon continues crying. "But this is a special "thing", " said his mother. "OK lah, I am sorry," replied Simon and he promised not to talk like that to his mother anymore. "I will not cry so much again and I am sorry," said Simon.

From that day onwards, Simon stopped crying and he began to have lots of friends till today.

Moral of the story : Do not be a cry baby, or you would have no friends!
