Once Upon a time, in a village far far away,
...there lived little rectangle boys and little triangle girls.
It was on the northern side of this strange village
that lived a boy named Squirmy.
Unlike the other rectangle boys in the village,
Squirmy was different.
Squirmy always wore his heart on his sleeve.
His heart was so big and bright that wherever he went...
little triangle girls would notice.
Whenever a little triangle got close enough to Squirmy,
She would poke him, laugh, and run away.
Squirmy didn't understand why girls would poke him and run away.
It made him sad and it made him cry.
No one in the village noticed this,
But every time Squirmy's heart was poked,
it would shrink and lose its shine.
Scared that his heart would one day disappear,
Squirmy started to hide in his cottage,
where he lived.
Everyday, little traingle girls would knock on his door
...and call him to come out and play.
As time went by,
...the girls stopped visiting his cottage...
...and all was quiet within the village.
One day, Squirmy heard a loud knock on his door.
He *** responded,
forgetting all about his aching heart.
And by some mysterious force from God,
Squirmy let the triangle girl in.
Squirmy noticed that Giggles also had her heart on her sleeve.
It was very big and very bright.
Giggles, too, noticed that Squirmy had his heart on his sleeve...
...and that it was not as big nor as bright.
Attracted to the dullness of Squirmy's heart,
Giggles asks to touch it.
So with Squirmy's consent, Giggles poked Squirmy's heart.
Squirmy noticed that for the first time,
his heart did not get smaller but instead it got bigger and brighter.
Overjoyed, Squirmy squirmed and Giggles giggled.
After seeing and feeling what Giggles had done to his heart.
he happily agreed and off they went...
... to have an adventure of their own.
