I don't know about you but I don't like taking advice from a bug. Everywhere I go, there's this cricket following me around saying don't do this, don't do that. Who is he to tell me what to do? He's as big as my toe and I have to listen to him. It doesn't even make any sense because what does a bug even know about being a boy? Sometimes I think he tells me to do the wrong thing on purpose. You don't believe me? Well, it's true. I've seen him laughing at me. He likes watching my nose grow. Yes. You heard that right? My nose grows. See, I've got this horrible affliction. Oh, I look all normal now, don't I? A cute little boy made of wood? Ok. Ok. Maybe that's not so normal, but I can live with that. I've been that way all my life after all. The real problem is that every time I tell a little fib, even the tiniest little white lie or even if I just stretch the truth away, my nose sprouts out like a fast growing weed straight out of my face like a clothes line. Do you have any idea how hard it is to walk around that way. I can't tell you how many times I've poked someone in the eye or caught my nose shut in the door. It's downright embarrassing as if having a bug follow you around all day and night wasn't bad enough. Why me, I ask you, I can't possibly be the only boy to stretch the truth a little bit. How am I supposed to live with such a wretched curse? How, what don't lie? I suppose that sounds all well and good. But I'm just a little boy. You might as well cut my strings and leave me here in a pile.
