While I was having deep conversation with my friend about food, he told me that I should eat my tomato. I explained to him why I don't eat tomatoes by telling him this story.
Once upon a
time, there was a carrot and a tomato. One day the carrot was looking
for his best-friend the tomato. He looked far and wide, but the tomato
was nowhere to be found. The carrot was one of the tallest of the
vegetables, but even he who could see over the high grass could not
find his friend. The other vegetables banded together and helped the
carrot, but the tomato was not in this glade. The carrot became
depressed. What could have happened to his best friend. Was he lost?
Did he fall into the stream and was he swept out to see? Or even worse,
was eaten by ravenous badgers? With his head slunk low, the carrot
drudged towards his carrot home. And there he found he found his best
friend the tomato with Mrs. Carrot. The Carrot was angry.

But is this a story suitable for children? I don't think my boy (5) will understand it - nor do I want him to understand it! Hmmm... (drudged -> trudged?, see -> sea?)
