how long ago was it, when you looked at a big box and saw a ship? when you became the pirate who sailed that ship to the seven seas, and the world was yours for the taking? you had a parrot on your shoulder, a sword in your hand, and you were fearless in the face of anything and everything.
how long ago was it, when you looked at a big box and saw a teleporter? it could take you to the farthest ends of the world - and beyond. there were no limits to where you could go. it took you to the far away lands where no one ever ventured, where you saw the most beautiful sights, and met the most extraordinary people.
how long ago was it, when you looked at a big box and saw a secret agent's hideaway? a room filled with countless gadgets and gizmos that would help you catch the villains that threatened our world, all at your fingertips. you were a spy in a dangerous land, and this was the place to get your weaponry to get you home, safe again.
how long ago was it, when you looked at a big box and saw a spaceship? it was taking you to travel the galaxies far and wide, where you would stand with your other-worldly friends to fight your other-worldly foes. you had stopovers on stars, and you were rescuing your friends who were trapped in enemy planets. you were a brave space traveller, and no one would stand in your way until all your friends were free.
how long ago was it, when you looked at a big box and saw........just a box?
"And the little prince said to the man, 'Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always explaining things to them.'" - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
