I have a friend. She lives in my house.
1
When I am happy, so is she.
2
When I cry, she cries too.
3
But I cannot hear her voice. My friend lives inside the mirror.
4
’Come out,’ I tell her, ’we will play.’ She does not come out.
5
I am not happy. I go to sleep.
6
She comes out of the mirror in my sleep! And we have fun.
7
We play, we run, we shout and scream together.
8
When I talk to her, she also talks to me.
9
In the morning, my friend will go back into the mirror.
10
But I don’t mind at all. We will play again in my dreams!
