The Idea

Once there was an idea. "I am an idea", said the idea. "I am the idea that someone will write a story about me."

All the other ideas laughed. "You? Someone would write a story about you?!"

"Certainly, why not?" said the idea.

The other ideas just laughed.

The idea walked away, crying to zemself. Another idea approached zem.

"Why are you crying?" said the other idea.

"No one likes me. I'm the idea that someone will write a story about me, but when I said that everyone just laughed. You're going to laugh now, too, aren't you?"

"No, I'm the idea of kindness and helping others. I'll help you deal with those bullies."

The two ideas went back to where the other ideas were. As soon as the other ideas saw them, they started laughing. "Ooh, look, ze brought a friend", they said. "I wonder who that is. The idea of getting a movie about oneself?"

"No", said the Help Others idea. "I am the idea of kindness and helping others."

"Ooh, help me make fun of that idea", said a mean idea.

"No. That would not be kind."

"It would be unkind to me not to help me. You can't help everyone because some people are against each other."

And, in a poof of logic, the Help Others idea disappeared.
