Bedtime Story No.2: Everybody loves 'em Potatoes

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Vegetania, there were all kinds of vegetables that lived together. Everyone loved their king (Sabji) and the queen (Dalia) as they mixed freely with all the vegetables. However there was one group called the potatoes who were unhappy. This is because all other vegetables made fun of potatoes for being ugly, fat and shapeless. After all, the tomoatoes were round, smooth and shiny. The carrots were golden, slender and sweet. The beans were healthy, crunchy and ummm easy going. Tired of being made fun of everyday, the potatoes sulked and stopped growing. Soon, the people went and complained to king Sabji that the potatoes were not to be found anymore and that they were hiding, well, under the ground. The king - being fond of potatoes himself - then decided to take the matters in his own hands and summoned the leader of the potato clan. The leader Mr. Idaho explained the situation and told the king that if other vegetables continue their attitude, then the potatoes would never come out of the ground and never live among other vegetables. The king then thought the matter over and agreed that the potatoes were indeed unfairly treated. He thus declared that, henceforth, the potatoes shall be liked by all.

Thus, from that day till today, potatoes have been called as the "king of vegetables". They continue to be used in all forms such as stew, fried, snacks and stuffing. Everyone still love potatoes.
The End !!!
