His parents noted Wesley's morale. "It's the first time in years he's looked happy," said his mother.
Wesley gave them a tour of Weslandia.
"What do you call this plant?" asked his father. Not knowing its name, Wesley had begun calling it "swist," from the sound of its leaves rustling in the breeze.
In like manner, he'd named his new fabrics, games, and foods, until he'd created an entire language.
Mixing the plant's oil with soot, Wesley made a passable ink. As the finale to his summer project, he used the ink and his own eighty-letter alphabet to record the history of his civilization's founding.
In September Wesley returned to school...
He had no shortage of friends.
