The world was out to get him. He was sure of it. It had been proven time and time again. Nobody apreciated and understood him.
Like the time in Omashu, when the guards knocked his cabbages over a cliff. They were NOT inferior products! He had climbed all the way down and back up, and had finally gotten into the city, only to have his cart destroyed again by a runaway delivery cart - twice! The same kid both times. Some little punk with an arrow on his head.
And then there were the Fire bender soldiers who set his cart on fire, claiming he was an Earth Kingdom spy, sent to assasinate them all with his cabbages.
Then he ran into the Arrowed Destroyer again, and his cabbages were destroyed again. There were whispers that this kid was the Avatar. HA! If anything, he was working with the Fire Lord in a conspiracy. Yes! That must be it! It was a conspiracy to eliminate cabbages! Why hadn't anyone else seen it? It wasn't about taking over the world - what idiot would want to do that?- it was about destroying all the cabbages!
He rolled over and clutched his treasured possession to his chest. The ground beneath his cart was hard, so he moved the bundle from his arms to his head, to use as a pillow. Still uncomfortable, he arranged the bundle under his head a little, then sighed as his hands stilled.
After all, you can't fluff a cabbage.
