Brussel Sprouts Short Story

Once upon a time in a densely wooded forest in the hills of West Virginia, there lived a brussel sprout named Bruce. As soon as he could speak, he said “Brussel sprouts are people too!” That is what Bruce continued to say and he said it at every single place that he went. While saying it, he spread the message. He said “One day someone will hear us and once they do our species will be saved.” Bruce traveled far and wide to spread his message to all kinds brussel sprouts of all kinds of different farms. While on his vast journey he encountered many brussel sprouts that believed in his message, following, helping, and accompanying him as he went on. He encountered great challenges, some of which he almost died from such as the

They hate us brussel sprouts with all their hearts and will not stop until the chosen one is eliminated so that they can come back and enslave us all!” said the father to his son. “Why do they hate us so?” Bruce responded.

He went through processing until he finally ended up on a child’s plate in which he said “Brussel sprouts are people too!” as loud as he could, and to his surprise the little girl heard him and chose not to eat Bruce or any of the other brussel sprouts. Remembering the forgiveness offered to him by Java the Pea, he called out, "Peas are human too." Instead of consuming the peas or brussel spouts she placed them in the front yard, letting them free.

Santana was there as well to cheer him on. In fact, all the peas had come. Together both the peas and brussel sprouts made his home farm a historic landmark. Sanatana and Bruce finally got together and they lived happily ever after. So every time you are served brussel sprouts or peas, and you turn them away remember Bruce is their liberator! Three cheers for the chosen one, Bruce the Brussel
