"Runaway"

Like every morning Stanley woke up at seven o’clock. He took a shower, got dressed and finally went to the kitchen to have breakfast. He said hello to his refrigerator named Chillie and took a bottle of orange juice as usual. But the difference this morning it is that the refrigerator’s handle broke up and both of them felt bad about it. In that moment Stanley took a magazine and wrote something of that, but Chillie didn’t see what he wrote so he feel worried. Stanley said, “I knew this would happen someday”. And after that Stanley went out and Chillie could see the magazine. It was about modern refrigerators and he thought Stanley would replace him so he felt very sad, and therefore he decided to runaway.

He got up and started walking. He got out the apartment and saw the street and the department stores with new, big and very fancy refrigerators that laughed at him. He felt worse and started to running.

At that time Stanley came back home and saw that Chillie wasn’t at home. He screamed, “No!”, and went to looking for him. He went out too, and started to ask, “Have you seen my refrigerator?” until a little toaster told him where Chillie was.

Stanley found Chillie sat between trash crying and said to him, “What did you do? Why are you here?” Chillie pointed at the magazine, and Stanley finally understood. “I have never wanted to replace you”, he said. “I only was looking for this”, said Stanley in a kind way and showed to Chillie the new handle for him. They hugged and went back home to continue with their normal life as they have always do.
