The sad story of the carrot and the potato

This is the story of the carrot and the potato who wished nothing more than to become delicious baby-food. While the story starts out wonderfully and the carrot and the potato seem to be soooo happy, I can tell you right away that there will not be a Happy Ending. So, if you are of soft heart, stop reading NOW. Do not come and say I haven't warned you about the sad sad ending of the carrot and the potato.

Well, there once were a carrot and a potato. They didn't grow up together, they didn't even know each other, they just had the same wish: to be fed to a little baby and make it become strong and healthy. A lot of veggies have that wish, but it isn't granted to all. As it turns out the carrot and the potato of our story were among the lucky ones. A beautiful and very nice lady (ME! ME! ME!) picked them out in the store and brought them home. At once the carrot and the potato saw the smiling baby-girl in the high-chair, and it was like heaven come true. It made them strong inside to know that their wish would come true in a few minutes. It made them survive the peeler (OUCH!), the boiling hot water (MORE OUCH!) and last but not least the blender. All the while the carrot and the potato smiled at each other and they said: "What's a little pain, if we're going to heaven?" They heard the baby squealing with delight, and their carrot and potato-hearts opened up. Little did they know....
So, in their final bliss, they looked like this. They were ready, oh so ready. But their downfall was rapid, as the baby-girl had very different things in mind. You see, the baby-girl wasn't the least interested in becoming strong and healthy. She didn't know about the carrot's and the potato's wish and had she known, she couldn't have cared less. So, instead of being eaten, the carrot and the potato encountered their not-so-blessed fate I already mentioned above. May they Rest in Peace.
