The Goody

Chirton Krauss was a good child, the very goodest. He did everything he was told, when he was told. He even did good things without being told. Until one lunchtime he looked down at his broccoli and wondered, “What’s so good about being a GOODY?”

Have YOU ever thought that thought?

Is there one word people always use to describe you? it might be a nice word like KIND, FUNNY or GOOD. Or it might be a word you don’t like so much, like SELFISH, MESSY or GRUMPY. But is anyone just one thing? If you do something SELFISH from time to time, does this mean you are never GENEROUS? Does eating broccoli when you don’t like broccoli make you a GOOD person? Surely KIND people can sometimes be MEAN, and FUNNY people can be SAD?

A touchingly funny story about being good, being not-good and being yourself.
