NICKY THE GRASS EATER

By Guy Moore

(Kids picture book, for adults too!)

A story about a young boy called nicky who was walking home
in the long green grass one day.

He thought to himself "this is boring... I'm just walking
home, not doing anything interesting. I don't have a ball
to kick, I might eat some grass"

So nicky started to eat the long green grass making it shorter
like a lawnmower with his bum stuck up in the air.

While he was eating the grass, another boy called mooky saw
him and thought; this is weird, this different... I feel
awkward, should I eat some grass? I don't want to eat some
grass, hey people don't eat grass, nicky's making me think
stupid thoughts- he must be the devil! I don't know what to
do! Aahhh! I'm going crazy! Aahhh!

And mooky went and painted a red circle on nicky's bum, then
kicked his bum! "Ow!" Nicky cried, "don't do that, I'm
peacefully eating grass hurting no one... my spirit and soul
smiles inside like a bright lamp light"

"Sorry" mooky said "that's okay... learn, we all make
mistakes, and don't do it again, otherwise your ears will
stink like cat pooh! You'll have yucky stinky ears!" Nicky
said and started laughing,

"hey, don't say that, it's disturbing..." mooky said with a
cheeky smile.

"I'm just joking... Lets be positive, and think of something
to help people, not hurt people. I'm not a cow!" Said nicky

"Yeah... that's funny... that's a good idea" said mooky
"Not paint a red spot on peoples pants and kick them in the
bum!" He continued his thoughts; this is weird, this is
interesting, hey, I want to stand out in the crowd too! Am
I a business genius ideas man? Yes I AM! And he borrowed
some money from his dad and bought a circus tent and sold
one hundred dollar tickets to watch "nicky the grass eater".

All the people came and laughed and said "look! That boy is
eating grass! He's really stupid! It's a good thing me or
my son don't waste our time eating grass-- he should spend
his time and money to tease people in a tent doing something
they enjoy... that's a good point!" Said the stupid evil
man

Nicky's parents didn't care because they got rich taking
fifty per cent of all ticket sales.

Nicky got sick eating all that grass.

He turned green...

Then one day he started to grow fur, then a tail... Then
hooves and horns! And then suddenly udders!

Nicky was turning into a cow!

Nicky said to mooky "what do I do?" "Eat some grass?" Said
mooky. Nicky said "moo!" And began to eat some more grass.

A man who had just bought a ticket said "hey, that's not
interesting, or special. It's just a ordinary cow eating
grass, so what?" "This circus (sucks) stinks!" Said an
angry woman, and they all walked out of mooky's tent.

People stopped coming to see nicky, the cow, eating grass...
so mooky had to go back to school and work on his "genius"

(Picture mooky as old big dumb kid in school looking uncool
and miserable)

Nicky's parents got there old boring jobs back,

And there son nicky, was happy, he was a cow, eating long
green grass.
