The Lost Thing

I'm a bit late again and I'm afraid to say that I really didn't understand the story about The ost Thing like guys below. The 'lost thing' represents something and my opinion was that it was a symbol of the spirit of the boy. The boy felt very lonely and wanted a friend. So the 'lost thing' appears and he spends the rest of the time with him. However the 'lost thing' goes back to his original place menaing that the boy has become mature and his spirit has become very strong. I think that the story told us how many people are feeling and that it is very different.
