Henry: Mario, remember that this Saturday we have our school play.
Mario: Oh.. I totally forgot about the play!
Henry: Ha, ha, ha, ha , See.. Things are not so bad! You are the main character! What would Little Red Riding Hood be without the wolf!

Henry: I’m sorry to hear that. But she’s a strong woman, so I think that she will recover soon.
Mario: You’re right… but since my aunt will take care of her until she recovers, she asked my mom to buy her a wheelchair. And now my mom is really worried because…
Henry: Hey, we have my grandfather’s wheelchair at home… I’ll ask my mom to lend it to you and bring it tomorrow.
Mario: Really? Oh, thanks.

(Henry yells back while he keeps walking)
Henry: I just wanted to tell you something!.
Mario: What is it!.
Henry: My mom took me to the doctor, and he said I have a brain tumor. He also said there’s nothing he can do to save my life, and that all I have to do… is wait to die. Have a nice day, my friend!.
(Henry waves good-bye)
Mario: Oh, mom, he came to tell me the news. When he asked me how I was, I forgot about him, and I only talked about me and my problems. He was smiling all the time, just to make me feel better… even though he is in a worse situation. That’s incredible!.
Mrs. Carwin: Now, try to spend as much time as possible with him.
Mario: I will mom… From now on, I will enjoy every minute I spend with him, and with everybody I love.
