There were eight men who were all the best of friends.
One man became very sick and had to stay home. His friends did not know that until they went to his house and saw that he was sitting on the floor with his special robe on.
This robe was special because it was given to him by his great-grandmother on her dying day. This was also a robe which he had only worn once before.
They asked him if he was sick or not.
The man's reply was, "I have a disease called leukemia". So then the seven worried men didn't go on the train trip around town. Instead they played several games (that were interesting of course!) with the poor old man. The man's health problem was getting better but his friends thought differently because their friend was always moaning and groaning. Later, they all visited the hospital with their friend. They then discovered that their special friend will get better and be with them again.
---- The End ----
