Moral tale

You are What you Eat!
There once was an oversized candy corn and a plump broccoli tree and cauliflower flowerette. Brodan, the broccoli, and Cayenne, the cauliflower, did not like Chippy, the colorful candy corn. They continually gossiped about the hideous stripes and obnoxiously cheerful personality of Chippy. Although the two boring and negative vegetables made fun of the bright and happy candy corn, Chippy continued to be happy and perky and never let their words affect her. In an attempt to get rid of Chippy, one day Brodan and Cayenne planned a surprise attack on the candy corn. Their plan was for Brodan to distract Chippy with a bright orange construction cone while Cayenne would pounce upon the innocent corn and bite his white tip off. So one day while Chippy was walking down the street, she noticed a beautiful bright orange cone moving towards her. Thinking the cone was another corn like herself, she began approaching it. Once she reached the cone, she noticed that it was just an ordinary construction cone. “But why is it moving?”, she thought to herself. As she turned to walk home, a big white crunchy object pounced upon her. Thinking she was just being robbed, she began hitting the robber with her purse. When she was finally able to get a good glance of the attacker, she realized who it was that was attacking her. It was the big mean cauliflower flowerette. Before she could escape, the cruel flowerette bit her little white tip off. Being completely infatuated with the delicacy of the white part of the candy corn, Cayenne could not stop at just the white part. He continued eating the yellow and orange part. In the meantime, Brodan was hiding in the orange cone to see the outcome of their attack. As Brodan was watching, he noticed that Cayenne began turning white at the top of his head. As Cayenne continued indulging in the candy corn, he turned bright orange and yellow. Instead of helping his cauliflower friend, Brodan burst into laughter and completely abandoned his “best friend”. The rest of Cayenne’s life, he had to face the persecution of being a candy corn. But unlike Chippy, Cayenne never was happy with his new life as a candy corn. His friend abandoned him, he was now full of sugar, and he became exactly what he strived all his life to be most unlike.
The moral of this story is, you are what you eat!
