The Bush: I am not you mate so back off before you get hurt!
The Flowers: ENOUGH!
The Bush: And you…
The House: STOP IT “Bush” you think you are the only one suffering? It has been months since I saw my family, I miss them terribly but you don’t seem me lashing out!
The Flowers: Every night I cry, Do you know how difficult it is to visit sick people! I try to stay upbeat but it’s tough to smile. I hate this virus and I hate you!
The Sun: Ok… Let’s all take a deep breath, what is the point of arguing? We don’t know for all long we will have to deal with this virus but fighting won’t make things better.
The Cloud: We need to stay strong and keep going! Hope is the only thing we have right now!
The Bush: The truth is I am angry! I miss the children, I miss the dogs, I miss the balls and most of all I feel lost and lonely!
The Sun: We will always be there for you!
The Cloud: You might be a pain in the neck but you are my pain in the neck!

The Flowers: Let’s just start again “Sun”?
The Sun: Hello everyone! What a beautiful day!
The Bush: Hello! How do you do?
The Cloud: Ok…Now you are overdoing it mate.

They all start praying hoping things will get better.
We will overcome this pandemic together!
