The veggies in a little, comfortable kitchen once became bored of being cut, cooked, and consumed. They came up with a scheme one peaceful night in the house.
The leader, Carrot, took a proud stance on the counter. We’re over serving supper! We retaliate tonight!”
Tomato sprang to her feet. “Let’s sabotage everything!”
The broccoli sent forth a puff of green head. “We’ll demonstrate to them that we’re not just garnishes!”
The veggies sprung to life as the clock struck midnight. Carrot bounced off the counter, almost avoiding a pot, and Tomato threw itself up, splattering juice all over the place.
Little Timmy wandered into the kitchen for breakfast the following morning. His eyes became wide as he came to a stop. Vegetable pandemonium engulfed the entire kitchen! A tomato”Mum! The veggies are out of control! Timmy yelled.
His mother entered and arched an eyebrow at what she saw. “Seems like the vegetables had a get-together,” she smiled.
Broccoli rolled off the toaster at that very moment. “Oh no! We’ve been discovered!”
The vegetables raced back into position quite fast. But after that day on, Timmy would always worry, “Are they planning their next move?” when he sat down to supper and looked at his plate.
What about the veggies? They said nothing, at least not yet.
The conclusion.
