Once upon a time in Whyville there was a tater. This tater was very special.
He had the power to make anyone who was kind to him rich with clams and all
the face parts they wanted!
First the tater traveled to the beach, because he wanted to get tan. He turned
to a nice-looking person and asked, "Which way to the shore?" The
person quickly responded with, "Go away newbie, nobody wants you here."
This brought tears to the tater's eyes, as the poor tater heard people laughing
at it in the background.
So, he moved on to the mall. The mall was very cool. The tater stopped at the
food court to catch a bite to eat. He turned to the person at the counter and
asked if he could have an apple. The person at the counter took one look at
him and started to laugh, and it was a mean, nasty old laugh.
This hurt the tater so badly, he couldn't bear to look at the man. With one
last hope to find kindness in Whyville, our special tater traveled to the Sunroof,
where he saw a girl who looked very friendly, laughing and laughing with her
friends.
"Hi, I'm new, can you help me?" the tater asked her.
"Oh, hello! You must be new! Sure, I can help you out. Do you need any
clams?" she asked in a very friendly voice. The tater was so overjoyed
he started jumping up and down.
"No, I don't," he exclaimed, "but you are now rich my friend!"
The girl looked puzzled as the tater left the room in a big hurry. It wasn't
until she happened to go to her ledger later that day when she realized what
the odd-but-friendly tater had meant!
And this is the end of the very-true but kinda-not story. Hope y'all liked
it!
