Picky Eating
Abstract
Once upon a time there was a princess named Penelopea. Penelopea lived in Capital Pea, where people ate peas by the pound - pureed, poached, and pan-fried!
There was just one problem. Penelopea hated peas. So she came up with a plan, but it led to a catastropea of epic proportions!
Eventually, in an effort to make peas disappear from the kingdom forever, she tries just one pea... then another... then another... and discovers they are positively pea-licious after all.
