On being put into a box

[GliderGuider]

A friend will sometimes come to me and say, "I've been thinking about you recently. Look at this fabulous box I made for you! Isn't it just perfect?"

If I'm awake right then I might say, "Why thank you! What a kind and thoughtful gift. You've decorated it so beautifully! Let me take it for a spin."

And for a while I'll have a grand time playing in my new box, exploring how my friend thinks of me.

Eventually my friend goes home and I climb out of the box, smile fondly, and put it on the shelf beside all the others.
