Dennis was an ordinary boy who loved to mime, but began to feel lonely. One day he kicked a ball (imaginary of course) and someone actually caught it! Joy was her name. They didn't need words, they were best friends and created a world that others wanted to be in.

We liked this both as kids who should look out for others who may feel excluded and as budding actors!

I think it would have been a more powerful story if he was an ordinary boy, and not dressed as a mime. Why is he a mime?
