Pencil: You know, I'm really sorry.

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorry, as you get hurt because of me. Whenever I make a mistake, you are always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes disappear, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller.

Eraser: That's true, but I don't really mind. You see, I am made to do this. I am made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though, one of these days, I know I'll be gone and you have to replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate to see you sad!
