Long ago and far away in the land of "The Muddy" there lived a girl, let's call her Aims. Well, Aims was bored (not board mind you) and she really wanted something to do. It's not that she didn't have many lovely friends to do things with, she just needed something to occupy her mind so she wouldn't think too much about other things (I think they call it suppression). She looked all around her for something to do and she complained a lot about not having anything to do.
Finally Aims decided to call upon The God of the Sky to give her something to do so she wouldn't be bored anymore. She called and she called but there was no answer from The God in the sky. Aims became frustrated and decided to take matters into her own hands. So Aims began to play the guitar, she began to create art, and she even began to read a lot, even so much that her head was always stuck in a book.
Her friends would stand at her window and call out "Aims, we are going to get ice cream. Come with us!" and Aims would reply with a flick of her wrist and say "Pooh pooh, I am staying here with my book." They were very disappointed.
Then finally The God of the sky decided to grant Aims her request. You see the God of the Sky knows best and He knew that the time had not yet been ripe for Aims to learn her lesson, but that day did come.
Suddenly Aims was very busy with many things to do. She had things to do almost every night, and they were fun things too. But Aims found that she missed the old days of reading and lounging around, "Waiting for the money" so to speak, and she began to complain about not having enough time. She complained that she was going out with all the wrong guys, she complained about her job, she complained about The Muddy, and she especially complained about her banking class she had wanted to take, but suddenly didn't want to take anymore.
The God of the Sky was angry with Aims. "You are ungrateful, just like The Children of the Desert who complained about the food I provided for them and when I finally gave them something else, they complained about that too. Because you are so ungrateful, I will not make you wonder in The Muddy for 30 years, but I will make a more permanent mark upon you so that every day, you will wake up and remember that you need to be grateful."
And with that, Aims found that she no longer had any hair! She was bald, completely!!! Aims cried and cried, but there was nothing she could do. Her sentence had been determined. She would never complain again. (Until it really hit her that she had no hair)
*Moral of the story: Don't complain, it might come back to bit you in the... well you fill in the blank.
