There was a child who stood at a chalkboard was he real of something else. No one knew for sure, but he never changes as if he were frozen in that place. The other children would go up to him and try to touch him to see if he is real and when they do touch him, they all seem to feel slightly different. They all went to the teacher and asked about the boy. The teacher said, "What boy?" "The one standing at the blackboard." The teacher said, "There is no boy there." "Go back to your seats, now."
