There once lived an alien who, like many aliens, was born with only one eye. He was a mischievous alien, who lied because he thought it was funny to trick those around him. What he did not know was that every time he lied, a new eye would grow. Sometimes his lies would lead to a friend making a fool of themselves, and other times a lie would make a loved one cry tears for no particular reason. Dude thought this was hilarious. Lie after lie, eyeball after eyeball, he kept his mischievous ways until one day something changed. On this day, someone lied to him instead. I won't go into details, but let's just say that Dude's smile was wiped from his face. Being lied to was not as much fun as he thought. In fact, it does not feel good at all! Realizing this, Dude's eyes were opened... all of them! From that day on, he was aware of how his actions effected those he loved the most. And with all his eyes, he could now see who might be needing some lifting up because they are feeling down. What a great way of turning a bad habit into a great one! Way to go, Dude!
PERSONAL GNOTE:
Though generally I enjoy writing the story in such a way that it really describes the recipient receiving my creation, this time I was curious to hear what my daughter would say his story would be. With only minor changes, I kept her ideas.
