Quentin Jr. was having breakfast when his dad shared some news. " - We have someone special moving in with us, Quentin," Dad said, looking excited. Quentin's mind raced with questions. Who was this person? Would they like the same things as him? Quentin felt a mix of nervousness and curiosity.
Later, Quentin heard his parents talking about Ace. " - Ace is different, and we need to be patient," Mom explained. Quentin wasn't sure what different meant. " - I hope he likes soccer like me," Quentin thought aloud. He worried about getting along with someone so different.
When Ace arrived, he was full of energy and made funny sounds. Quentin was unsure how to connect. " - Hi, Ace," Quentin said shyly. Ace smiled and waved, but then wandered off to explore the house. Quentin wondered how they could ever become friends.
Quentin tried playing soccer with Ace, but it didn't go well. Ace got distracted by a butterfly and ran off. " - I give up!" Quentin exclaimed in frustration. He felt like they'd never find common ground. Maybe they were just too different.
One day, Quentin's dad showed him how Ace loved to paint. " - Why don't you paint together?" Dad suggested. Quentin decided to give it a try. As they painted, Quentin saw Ace's joy and creativity. " - This is fun!" Quentin admitted, realizing they had found something to share.
Quentin and Ace became inseparable, sharing laughs and painting new worlds. Quentin learned that patience and kindness made all the difference. " - Thanks for being my friend, Ace," Quentin said happily. Ace grinned, and they both knew this friendship was special. Quentin realized that being different was something to celebrate.
