Something from far away

There is a legend that tells of something magical that happens when a child falls down and hurts himself.
In a shiny cloud appears a delightful scarecrow. This breathtaking scarecrow comes and puts his fingers above the injury and covers it with caramel and cures it. This amazing creature comes from a land far, far away, where everything is made of chewing-gum, chocolate and other sweets. This land is called Marshmallow Town.
On a certain afternoon the little boy Johnny went down to the skate park near the river to try his new skates. He was a bit scared because it was his first time on them. Johnny sat down on a bank to put on his skates and after doing that he stayed there and stared at the river while he was plucking up courage. A few minutes later he started to skate, first slow and then faster. After skating for about twenty minutes he fell down and hurt his knee. Johnny started to cry very badly as he saw his injury.
Suddenly a big shiny cloud appeared from nowhere and it was the most mysterious creature Johnny had ever seen. Although he had tears in his eyes because of the injury he started to smile on seeing the sweet lollipop eyes of the scarecrow. The amazing creature put his fingers on Johnnys grazed knee and cured it quickly. “Who are you? Where are you from?” asked Johnny and hoped he would get an answer, but the only thing that he heard was “Take care of yourself!” The scarecrow disappeared immediately.
Johnny looked after his knee and saw that it was fixed. Since then he hoped he would see the wonderful scarecrow again, but without getting hurt.
