The Boy with a Hundred Faces
Once, there lived a boy with a hundred faces. Each day, he wakes up and puts on a new face. Some days, he chooses the happy face. Most days, he puts on the poker face. But his most favourite face is his real face. But the boy only puts on his real face once in a while and very seldom.
Every time the boy changes his face, his real face gets a scar. And so he doesn't show it very much often. When he does, people get scared and tease him. So he tries his very best to hide his real face. The boy noticed that everyone likes his happy face and so he puts it on each time he goes out of the house. When people see his happy face, they also get happy. They play with him and appreciate him.
One day, while playing with a group of children, one of the kids bullied, mocked and teased him. The kid happened to see the boy's real face once when he forgot to put on his mask. The other children believed the tale of the other boy and began laughing hysterically.
The boy with a hundred faces was badly hurt by what happened and wanted to cry. But he chose not to and gave a tired smile instead. Before the other kids could leave, he told them his true face was absolutely funny, even he himself finds it amusing. He laughed and laughed and the more he hid his true feelings, the deeper the scar that his real face receives.
The boy went home that afternoon feeling tired and exhausted. He went inside his house and had gone up to his room. There, he removed his happy face and replaced it with his real face. To his terror, he cried buckets of tears upon seeing his reflection on the mirror - his real face deeply scarred.
