Sammy Strong
Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Sammy. Sammy was a small sized, pale boy with ginger hair. He had his freckles all over his face and body. Sammy's biggest dream was to become a football player for his favorite team of all time; the Michigan Wolverines. But he only had one problem. He was weaker and smaller than lot of the girls.
Sammy watched all the Wolverines football games and analyzed them with his dad. He wanted to be one of them. Sammy and his dad’s favorite thing to do together was to play catch with a football. Sammy knew that practicing hard and a lot was the only way to get better. Or was it?
“Sammy, you need to eat your vegetables! Broccoli, carrot, tomatoes... all of them will make you stronger!”, Sammy’s mom said, like she did every night when they had dinner. But the thing was, Sammy hated vegetables. He never ate them. “I don’t believe you mom. I tried vegetables once and it was horrible.”
But Sammy’s mom was clever this time. She wrapped couple pieces of broccoli in a candy wrapper and handed them to Sammy after dinner. Sam, unwittingly, took the wrapper and put the broccoli in his mouth.
“What candy is this, mom?”
“It’s a new kind. Do you like it?”, Sammy’s mom asked.
“I actually do. It’s different, but good.” And so Sammy ate a whole bunch of broccoli "candies" that night.
The next day, Sammy woke up five inches taller and so much stronger. He ran up to his mom full of excitement.
“Mom, mom! Look what happened. I think it’s because of the special candy you gave me”, Sammy yelled with a big smile on his face.
Sammy’s mom took him to the kitchen and revealed what she had done. Sammy couldn’t believe his ears, but the next dinner, he decided to be good and try his mom’s theory of the vegetables making him stronger. And he soon noticed, it was all true.
Ever since then, Sammy grew stronger and stronger by eating his vegetables and every day, he’s closer to his dream of being a Michigan wolverine.
