Inspiration: The Little Glutton
Halloween was on its way and R-Jay was excited to get some candy. During Halloween, Emerald city gets lit up like a beautiful Christmas tree, but it becomes as spooky as a dark cavern at night. R-Jay loved eating sweets and candy. All he ate was candy, it was his favourite breakfast, lunch, and dinner. One day, in an electronic shop he found a small drone with a camera built into it. He liked it very much, and his parents bought it for him. He was so happy with his drone! As soon as he could, he used it to look at skyscraping trees. It was great! The camera allowed him to not only see what’s at the top of the trees but also the view from the top.
Excitingly, the boy kept experimenting, and he looked for areas that he couldn’t reach but the drone could. It was the best gift he had ever received.
Suddenly, he realised how he could best use this special drone, and he ran home. It was the day before Halloween and R-Jay thought of something clever. At home, he opened a map of his neighborhood and marked the houses that left candy on their porches. Based on previous years of Halloween there were three houses that did this.
It was Halloween night, and R-Jay was ready to put his drone to use. He camped outside the houses, deployed his drone in the air to scope out the area to see if anyone was going to the house. Once the coast was clear, he would go to the house and notice that right above the bowl of candy a sign had written: “take two candies only.” R-Jay loved candy so much that he decided to take handfuls of candy. He did this to all three houses and went home. R-Jay then completely stuffed himself with candy, until he could eat nothing more. However, the next morning he woke up totally swollen, a bit purple, and with a huge bellyache. When the doctor came to see him, he said it was the worst case of upset tummy he had ever seen. Night and day, R-Jay suffered so much that for a long time he didn’t want to hear mention of large amounts of food. His parents were happy about this. Thanks to their son’s latest gluttony their pantry was full of the food he could not eat. What’s more, he gave up being a glutton who only ever ate sweets and candy. He wanted nothing to do with them.
And so with that, R-Jay learned that even with the best things in life, if you have too many of them, you will end up feeling ill. He decided to keep using his drone for looking at things that people can’t reach.
