A Letter About An Abacus

Dear Furaha,

I’ve heard from your carer Optimus Prime that there are five colours on an abacus, all representing your two charges and three of your dearest friends - Furaha, Orko, Josh, Laura and Berto. The yellow beads represent Furaha and her sweetness, kindness and mischief. The red beads represent Orko’s brotherly nature towards his little furry sister. The green beads? You know them, when there’s green, Josh is around - he’s very kind and caring towards Furaha, and makes a good babysitter. The purple beads represent Laura and her kindness and softness towards Orko, and Furaha if she has time. And finally, the blue beads represent Berto, and how he loves to play board games and share Choco Nutties together with Orko, even when they’re fighting over the last one in the supermarket.

Let me tell you something: each bead represents a lovely, gentle story in their lives, whether Josh and Laura are babysitting Furaha and Orko or your two little ones are going on adventures together. Whatever keeps the beads apart from each other keeps you together no matter what. Because these beads are the group of friends that come together and make each other feel happy with what they have.

Love,

Sybil
