The Grape Epic

Once there was a little boy eating his supper. On his green plate were three grapes. A mommy grape, a daddy grape, and a baby grape. The mommy and daddy grapes were quite cooperative and hopped into the little boy's mouth, where they made their way to the little boy's tummy.

The baby grape however, was not ready to do what his mommy and daddy did, so he rolled across the table. Then he jumped, jumped, jumped, and "pound-pound, saw-saw"-ed on the table. Finally, that little grape leaped off the table and rolled across the dining room rug. The little boy dove after him, and in the process bonked his head on the neighboring chair. He ran to his mommy for a hug and a kiss, and together they looked for that naughty baby grape. When they found him, the little boy popped the impertinent produce into his mouth and squooshed him up. He felt a little sorry for the baby grape who was all alone, so he ate some raisins to keep him company. Then the little boy, put his plate in the sink and ran off to play with his toys, rather than clean them up as asked.

And so, the old adage that we are what we eat is true. The little boy became the naughty grape that he had eaten.
