Dear Bruno, 

     Berlin has been very boring without you here.  There is not much to do on our street anymore, it's just been quiet.  Lately, your house has been looking really empty, maybe it's because I'm used to it being full with life.  Anyway, how's Gretel?  Your sister was always weird, especially when she was with her friends!  One time they kept trying to force me to play dolls with them while you were in the bathroom.  Luckily you came out before they had they chance to even give me one!  Anyways, this letter isn't supposed to be about me, it's supposed to be about you.  

     I have had a few questions on my mind to ask you lately.  What's it like in your new house?  Is it bigger than your old house?  Do you have any new friends?  I hope you didn't replace either me, Daniel, Martin, or Karl! We're best friends and you can't replace us, we're simply irreplaceable.  Anyway, if you do have new friends, what are they like?  Surely they can't be as good as us but they must be nice.  I wonder what their names are.  Are you planning on coming back?  I'm starting to miss you at school.   However, there's a new student and his name is Adam.  He's really pleasant, yet not as much as you are.

     That has been the only exciting thing that happened since you left.  I'm telling you Bruno, you have have to come back!  It must be pretty nice over there if you haven't come back to your old house yet.  I hope you don't forget us.  So, how's school over there?  It must be completely different!  I wish you could've stayed.

     Sadly, I have to put this letter to an end because I have to go.  Mother says that we have to go to a friend's house for Schwarzwalder.  I hope you have time to write me back.  Wiedersehen!

                                                                                                          Sincerely, 

                                                                                                                            Evan
