A Tale of Electrical Woe

Now, children, here's a little story about a little plug, let's call him Pug the Plug, and a socket, Sukie Socket. Now, Sukie Socket comes from a country called America, which is Far Away. So Far Away, indeed, that they have different sorts of plugs and sockets entirely!

You'd think that Sukie and Pug wouldn't get on at all, being oh so very different, but when they met for the first time they found that they had ever so much in common! They both lived, it seems, to brighten up other peoples' lives in different ways. They spent so many exciting afternoons together that you could almost say the atmosphere was electric!

But though their friendship thrived, Pug the Plug wanted much more, having grown very fond of little Sukie Socket. But oh, dear reader, Sukie knew their love could not be. She had needs, children, very special adult needs, and wanted to settle down with a nice, familiar little plug who wasn't either slightly deranged, or deformed in his connectors. "Oh", she said, "I do love Pug, but he needs so much grounding!"

So Sukie disappeared back to America to live her normal, but soul-less little life, and Pug the Plug eventually committed suicide due to a broken heart.

The End.
