Viggo sits on his sofa on Friday night. He is tired, and he wants a quiet evening.
Suddenly, a small gray drone flies to his balcony. It carries a flat white box.
The drone puts the box on the floor. Then it flies away fast.
Viggo opens the balcony door. The box is warm, and it smells very good. It is a pizza!
He reads the paper on the box. It says "Apartment 5B." Viggo lives in 3B.
"This is not my pizza," he says. "Someone is hungry upstairs."
He takes the box and walks to the stairs. He climbs two floors. The box is still warm in his hands.
Viggo knocks on the door of 5B. A tall man opens it and looks at the box.
"My pizza!" the man says. "I am so hungry!"
"The drone came to my balcony by mistake," Viggo says.
The man opens the box. He gives Viggo a big slice. "You carried my pizza up two floors. Please, have a slice."
Viggo takes the slice and smiles. "Thank you," he says. "Now I want my own pizza, too!"
