The sad little boy dreaming too big

One day, a little boy's parents ask him what he would like to do later. To this, he answered:

"I want to fly!"

His parents laughed, explaining him that he would sadly never be able to fly. The boy needed to think about it again. After a visit to the zoo, he announced:

"I will live among fishes!"

The adults laughed again, telling him he would not survive under-water.
This conversation repeated itself several times. He would never have a dinosaur, he could not walk on the sun, he won't explore the heart of the Earth or that he will never be able to teleport himself. The little boy was dreaming big, way too big, his parents told him.

"Look for something possible that would still make you happy."

Several days later, the boy ran back home from school:

"Dad! Mom! I know what I want!"

They looked at him and smiled, waiting for him to tell them. He looked at them and said:

"When I will be older... I want to have friends!"

For the first time, the sad little boy asked for something feasible. However, this would be the hardest for him.
This is the story of the sad little boy dreaming too big.
