" Hooray!! " comes Ed shouting to his mom who is waiting for him to arrive, "Ed, May I know what is the reason for your happiness? " asks his neighbor Karley Thomson. He asks "Don't you know ? ", His mother suddenly hits him slightly and he speaks again ," It is my summer vacation Mrs.Karley Thomson " and gets into his house but Hannah (Ed's Mom ) and Karley Thomson continue their conversation, While Ed changes his outfit and starts thinking about his plans for Summer Vacation and his conversation with his friends about their summer plans. He plans to learn swimming with his cousins Georgie and Hillary who are about his age and then he plans to go to many amusement parks and finally to his grandpa's grand island "Beechwood" where all of his family get together and have a great summer vacation together, he loves to go there because Mobile phones do not get signals there, so even adults come to play with them, But this is his routine vacation's plan but this time he wants to do something different so he decides not to go to the island sooner but a week later so that he can spend this time with his friends and parents around here, Then after a few minutes Hannah comes in and asks Ed about his summer plans even though she knows what it might be... Ed starts explaining his summer vacation and he asks his mother " Mom, This time can we go to Beechwood a little later ?" His mom asks why and he says " I am gonna...huh..I don't know but please only two days? " His mom replies " That's okay Ed, Its just two days.." 


"Thank you mommy, Love you" . He hugs his mom and dad arrives..

"Daadddyyy!!!" jumps Ed to his dad and James hugs his son.."Yes ! My boy, I hope you made your summer plans as usual " 

" Yes dad but not as usual " says Ed in a high pitch. "Ohhh my dear boy, But this time we are definitely not gonna miss Beechwood"                             " Not really dad but give me just a week off " "Just two days ? Okay Ed but only a two days not more than that " 

"Thank you daddy " said Ed and goes to his room while James calls Grandpa and informs about this.        

           

1st Day 

Ed wakes up and says "This gonna be different " to himself, he does all his daily chores and its still 9'o clock, he decides to find out what his other friends are doing, so he leaves his house and goes to his best friend's " Hello Ed" greets Harris and welcomes him home and this was the first time Ed is coming to Harris's house ( ever to someone's house ), so Harris calls his mom and dad and introduces him to them and his mom asks " So, you are that 'Ed' Harris always speaks about, a naughty one in the class and does drawing and painting well". Ed was surprised to hear this as he does not mention about his friends to his parents with this much detail as they don't spend a lot of time together but he likes to spend time with his cousins, when these thoughts are running in his mind he forgets to reply Harris's mom, So his dad interrupts and ask, "Don't you know how to speak little boy ? " 

"Huh, Huh, not like that, I haven't spoken to strangers ,so I am a little scared" Harris's parents get embarrassed and his mom says " That's okay, You both continue hereafter" and they leave.

Harris simply called Harry gets irritated and asks Ed to follow him and keep his mouth shut,they go to his room and decides to play trump cards before which Ed says  " Sorry, I shouldn't have come, I was scared " Harry replies " That's okay Ed, Its natural but the next time you come here give a good impression on you to my parents."

Ed nods and they start playing and after few hours, Ed says he wants to leave and before even Harry goes to ask his mom, he leaves without informing but when he reaches home he feels shameful for his behavior and calls Harry and asks Sorry and he vowed himself that he won't do this again to anybody. 

Lesson 1 : Do not get scared when speaking to elders and greet someone before and after the conversation 


2nd Day

As usual, he does all his routine works and starts thinking about what to do next, suddenly he wants to play video games with his friends but he hasn't played video games with others, he always plays it alone at his home, so he decides to throw a Video game party at his home and invites all his friends to his home and asks them to bring all of their video games too. 

All of his friends including Harris comes to his home, and Ed's mom greets them and Ed starts to serve them with Cakes and coffee.

The Party starts, everyone starts playing with their closest and Ed asks Harris to join him and he also accepts and they start playing Fortnite but Ed is a newbie in this game and gets out easily and he starts playing with Mirren , also this time he gets defeated, he gets worried and went to his room without informing anybody and starts crying, his mom watched him go to his room worried so she follows him and asks " Ed, Why are you crying ?"


"I am an Idiot, I don't know how to play any game and I am easily defeated"

" Ed, Don't worry, Its just a game, there are many games in which you can win, you have just played 2 games and the party isn't over, so cheer up Ed! There's a great party awaiting for you !"

"Hmm..At least I will go and see what they're playing mom, Thank you for cheering me up"

Ed goes out to the living room and sees a game much more interesting which is named 'Among us', he decides to play that game with John and starts playing it and wins it so easily and as if he has won the Olympic he shouts and plays another and another and another, he loved the game and becomes the champion of it interestingly.

The party gets over, everybody leaves his house, Ed loved this day and thanks his mom for everything and sleeps peacefully


Lesson 2 : We cannot be good at everything but we should try until we find ours

At night, they start packing all their things to go to Beechwood and Ed keeps thinking that he would have learnt many things if he had got his days to spend his summer at his home rather than this isolated island.
