Once there was a person with fluffy blue hair who was seeking a pale blue horse. This mythical equine was known for its jolly disposition and its hauntingly beautiful recitation of a single word: “Moo.”
The Quest Begins…
The blue-haired human scaled green hills and forded purple streams. They kept strength by visualizing what that “Moo” would sound like, and how it would change their life to hear it.
They passed a cute llama — but it was not a horse, and most certainly was not a blue horse. They continued walking.
They climbed the highest mountain, past a thicket of cacti, and entered a realm of lemon-yellow sky. ALL OF A SUDDEN:
Did the “Moo” Live Up to the Hype?
The human’s heart leapt with joy. That “Moo” was everything they had hoped for and more! They raised their arms in delight, soaking in the sound. The rump of the blue horse shone in the sunlight.

From then on, the blue-haired person was endowed with unshakeable optimism. Thanks to the positive power of the “Moo” (now firmly solidified within the human’s soul), no obstacle was too big to conquer.
May we all find our “Moo!”
