George is in his bedroom. He is playing on his computer – again! George plays on his computer every day. His mum shouts, “George! Your dinner is ready!” but George doesn’t hear. He just plays on his computer. But George feels sad. He plays on his computer because he doesn’t have any friends. Sometimes he dreams he is playing football with lots of friends, but it never happens.

Today George is playing a computer football game. He is playing against the computer and he is winning. Suddenly the computer speaks to George.
“Hello George. What game can we play now?”

George is surprised and jumps up from his chair. He can’t believe it. Maybe he is dreaming. Then the computer speaks again.
“I am your friend, George.”
