     Can you help him?

 

He came from very far away.

At the beginning he was very misty and without any special form.

But as the time passed, his limbs grew more and more meat on them, body got more and more heavy. And at last he was adult and felt that he is ready.

Now he had to find a home.

.

Full of life, his body exploding with power to change, he tried the first house he saw.

But he couldn't find any doors.

He looked for windows or any other ingress, but alas. This home was absolutely unpenetrable.

.

He was so surprised, that passed at least ten other houses, until he decided to try once more.

This time he found the door and entered.

Inside was empty and windy. He wanted to catch something not to be blown out, but the chair he took grip of, was blown out too.

.

Shivering he flew straight into another house.

Inside was a strange order of total disorder. Doors between rooms were open and things were thrown on the floor. On table, he could see unfinished food. In the air flew balloons.

He didn't like the place and decided not to stay.

.

Wow. What a beautiful house. The best he saw until now.

He ran inside but stopped in the door.

The house was empty. Grey walls and grey floor and grey ceiling.

He looked outside and house's colours made him blink.

He put his head inside once more, and saw just grey disappointment.

.

A little house with plenty of flowers.

When he entered, the chain of most beautiful flowers descended on his neck.

Before him was an inviting armchair with sleepers near it.

His size sleepers.

He felt dreamy and felt eyes close.

He couldn't think. He just felt. Very good. Really.

But then, he recollected that he came to make change.

And though this was the best house, where he would like to stay for long, he understood that he has to continue his search.

.

This was very plain house. Beautiful colours, but not too much.

Inside he sat on the chair and looked around.

Everything was in kind of order. Not the order he wanted, but it could be the beginning.

He went to the kitchen and took some fresh food.

Then he returned to living room and began to work.

He liked this place.

At last the Idea felt at home.

Here he can create.
