Stuck in Bed
Ben injured his leg during a football match. His leg was in a cast and he had to stay in bed for a week.
Ben was very bored. He longed to play with his friends, He was uninterested in the magazines and books that his mother had bought for him. He even lost interest in his game console. When his mother saw how bored he was, she decided to take leave from work for a few days to keep him company. She cooked him his favourite food. She also taught him how to do origami. Ben was reluctant to do origami at first because he thought it was more suitable for girls. However, when he realized that he could make soldiers, boats and planes, he became more interested. By the end of the day, he had made an entire city. When his mother left him alone to cook dinner, he was not bored. He played with his new city made entirely of paper. He was having a great time. When his mother went back to work, he continued learning origami on his own. By the time he could get out of bed, he was better at origami than his mother.
When Ben recovered, he continued learning how to do origami. It became his latest hobby.
