This is a story I heard recently. Name of story is - A Warm Fuzzy Tale.
Once upon a time, there lived two people called Tim and Maggie with their two children John and Lucy. To understand how happy they were you have to understand how things were in those days.
You see in those happy days everyone was given a small, soft Fuzzy Bag when born. Any time a person reached into this bag they were able to pull out a Warm Fuzzy.whenever someone was given a Warm Fuzzy it made them feel warm and fuzzy all over. Those days it was very easy to get a Warm Fuzzy. Everyone asked for Warm Fuzzy and everyone gave Warm Fuzzy. So everyone was happy and felt warm and fuzzy most of the time.
One day a bad witch who made salves and potions for sick people became angry because everyone was so happy and feeling good and no one was buying potions and salves. The witch was very clever and devised a very wicked plan. One beautiful morning while Maggie was playing with her daughter the witch crept up to Tim and whispered in his ear, - "See here, Tim, look at all the Fuzzies that Maggie is giving to Lucy. You know, if she keeps it up she is going to run out and then there won't be any left for you!"
Tim got worried and was convinced that sooner or later, Maggie will run out of Warm Fuzzies and was angry whenever Maggie gave anyone Warm Fuzzy. Because Maggie loved Tim a lot, she stopped giving Warm Fuzzy. Soon the word spread that Warm Fuzzies are not unlimited and people stopped giving Warm Fuzzies. People began feel less warm, the fell sick and some of then died. Wicked Witch did not want people to die, but to remain sick so that they will buy her potions.
So she gave everybody a bag similar to Bag of Warm Fuzzies but this new bag produced Cold Pricklies. Cold Pricklies made people cold and prickly but saved them from dying. The situation got very complicated since the coming of the witch because there were fewer and fewer Warm Fuzzies around and Warm Fuzzies which used to be free as air, became extremely valuable. some people would take Cold Pricklies--which were everywhere and freely available-and coated them white and fluffy so that they almost looked like Warm Fuzzies. These fake Warm Fuzzies were really Plastic Fuzzies, and they caused additional problems.
Once a woman came from nearby town who was oblivious to the belief of limited Warm Fuzzies and started handing out Warm Fuzzy freely. Children loved her and they followed. But people got angry and they passed a law. The law made it a criminal offense to give out Warm Fuzzies in a reckless manner or without a license.
Many children, however, seemed not to care; and in spite of the law they continued to give each other Warm Fuzzies whenever they felt like it and always when asked. Because they were many, many children, almost as many as grown ups, it began to look as if maybe they would have their way.
As of now its hard to say what will happen.
Will the grownups laws stop the recklessness of the children?
Are the grownups going to join with the Hip Woman and the children in taking a chance that there will always be as many Warm Fuzzies as needed?
Will they remember the days their children are trying to bring back when Warm Fuzzies were abundant because people gave them away freely ?
The struggle spread all over the land and is probably going on right were you live. If you want to, and I hope you do, you can join by freely giving and asking for Warm Fuzzies and being as loving and healthy as you can.
I have made my choice, have you?
