`` i miss him , '' i tell my mother , looking at her . anyway , he just left this morning and already im counting the days until hes back . well there is a slight difference with this tale - we begin in the middle and i will tell you about the beginning ! i open the cover and inspect the table of contents . `` and we got some good news about them today . '' i feel sad for him , as he 's grown too much , and he can never return home .
