The Carrot

Mr. Carrot lived a lovely life in a row with other carrots. One day a bird flew up and pulled his hair so hard he nearly came out of the ground.

"Hey, leave me be", he shouted at the bird, "why can't a carrot be who a carrot wants to be?"

Then one day a farmer walked by and yanked him out.

"Hey, leave me be", the carrot shouted at the farmer, "why can't a carrot be who a carrot wants to be?"

He was put in a wagon and driven to the supermarket and placed on a shelf with a bunch of other carrots. He wriggled his rootlets in glee on the cool misted shelves of the supermarket.

"Well,gee, this is the life for me," as he stared at passers-by.

Then Mr Leo passed by, grabbed the carrot by its hair and held it high overhead, contemplating it closely for spots.

"Hey, leave me be", the carrot shouted at the Leo, "why can't a carrot be who a carrot wants to be?"

Leo looked surprised at the talking carrot. "Has no one ever told you? You were planted, cultivated, harvested for one purpose-- to be eaten"
