The Lonely Coconut

There was once a lone coconut that was jealous of all of the humans that got to walk on the ground while all he was able to do all day was hang up in the tree. He was happy most of the time, he had friends and the sights were something great, but that little bit of jealousy was always eating a him bit by bit. His friends matured faster than he did and were soon a ripe brown color that the one, still green, coconut envied. The day came when his friends fell from the tree because their time had expired and they were now brown, shrunken, and sick looking. The coconut became enraged with jealousy since everything he knew and loved was now on the ground, what seemed like miles below where he still hung on the tree, still green but getting browner ever so slightly.

Days, weeks, and months past before the coconut was fully ripe, by this time he was consumed with his anger and envy. Every day the coconut wished that he could be on the ground just like everyone else, to be able to feel the sand that he looked down at almost all the time. And one day, his wish came true. There was a storm, one of sorts that the coconut had never seen before. Rain poured down and the wind blew so violently that the thin stem that held him to the tree snapped like it was nothing.

Finally, finally he was on the ground, feeling the soft luxurious sand engulfing him. He was the happiest that he ever felt before in his entire life. After sitting in the sand for a few days, he longed to have his family back, it seemed that they were no longer where they feel. And he even longed to be back up in the tree, to see all of the sights that he missed so dearly.

It wasn't long before the coconut was wishing that he never wanted to be on the ground, he was enraged about how desperate he was to get where he was now.

He let this anger consume him yet again, but it didn't help him get back to the place that he so longed to be in. One day, he was so angry and jealous that he ended up eating all of the humans that sat near him in the sand.

THE END
