Too prosaic to be fiction-worthy; what does it say about humanity...

Once there was a kingdom of squiggles. They looked just like hairs from the top of your head, but when they moved they squiggled. They were a peace-loving people, too squiggly to get much done, but also too squiggly to care about it either.

One day a toothpick visited the kingdom. The squiggles didn’t know what to make of him. Try as they might, they could not teach him to squiggle. And try as he might, he couldn’t teach them to actually do anything.

They had a great feast in honor of their differences. The next day, the toothpick left.
