One day, Drawy said to his girlfriend:
– So, let’s start a business.
– What business? – asked Hearty.
– Pigs bring me drawings. I cry on them, they become real, and pigs pay me for this.
– What an idea! What do you need the money for?
– For two electric scooters for me and you. We will be able to go for long trips.
– Sounds interesting! – said Hearty. But why can’t you just draw two electric scooters and cry on them? – she asked.
– Hmm, you’re right. I can try it out!
Drawy drew an electric scooter and cried on it.
– It didn’t work – he said.
– Why?
– Look, the scooter is deformed.
– What do you mean?
– It hasn’t got the wheels or the handlebar.
– Oops. Why is it so?
– I think I cried too few tears.
– I was lucky because you cried a lot on the picture of me. Otherwise, I would have no legs or arms – said
Hearty.
– Don’t joke. It could have really happened.
– I’m not joking. You must have been really sad – said Hearty.
– I was – said Drawy, a bit annoyed.
– So what about the scooters? – Hearty continued.
– It looks like we must use smaller pictures and materialize only small objects.
So Drawy and Hearty made the leaflets and gave them away to the pigs at school.
Everybody was excited. They were talking about Drawy’s drawn girlfriend, who had become real, and Drawy’s magical powers. They were really interested in his offer. His clients appeared.
The first client wanted a keychain that looked like Shiny Shadow, a famous pig star in the pig world.– Have you drawn the picture? – asked Drawy.
– I have a picture – said the piglet.
– Oh no, it can’t be a photo. You need a drawing.
– I can’t draw.
– So let’s ask Chat PiGyT to change the photo into a drawing.
– Good idea.
After a few minutes, the drawing was ready. When Drawy wanted to cry on it, he couldn’t, because he wasn’t sad. Then he remembered that he didn’t have real parents and would never have them. He would never find them, because they didn’t exist. He felt sad, and then his tears dropped on the drawing and the keychain became real.
– Wow, it’s amazing – said the client. – How much do I pay?
– Twenty Pigcoins, please.
– Here you are.
Drawy felt weak for a moment, but he thought it was just stuffy in the room, so he opened the window. The next client was Peps.
– What do you need? – asked Drawy.
– I want black and red headphones.
– Have you got the drawing of them?
– Yes, I have.
Drawy took the picture and tried to cry on it, but he couldn’t.
– I’m sorry, I need more time. Come back in ten minutes.
– Hearty, I couldn’t cry!
– Why? – asked Hearty.
– I’m not sad enough.
– You can chop an onion.
– I can try it! Great idea!
In a few minutes, Drawy’s eyes started to water, and the headphones were ready.
– Nice, thanks!
How much do I pay?
– Thirty-five Pigcoins.
– Here you are.
– Thanks.
Drawy took the money and… fainted.
Hearty pulled him onto the sofa and revived him.
– What’s happened?
– I don’t know.
– Do you remember what Persius said?
– Yes. We made a mistake. We should have listened to Persius. You can’t cry so much. We don’t need these scooters. Your health is more important!
