A Happy Story

Here's a super-short story I just came up with when Kate asked me for "a happy story."

It's called Tommy Teacup Learns a Lesson

The other day, Tommy Teacup was feeling down. "I'm chipped-off," he snorted. "I'll never be popular like Sammy Saucer."

At precisely that moment, a bull rushed in to the china shop and brutally shattered Sammy Saucer, not out of spite, but out of irrationality.

Tommy couldn't have been happier.

He threw a party that night, and met up with a few cute teaspoons, and they more or less stirred things up.

Tommy learned the important lesson that good and unpredictable things can happen to ordinary pieces of china. The end.

I hope that made you happy.
