In the Candy Kingdom, all Candies went to dance class after school. There were many different kinds of dances, but the most graceful and beautiful of all was The Dance of the Sugarplums. At least, that's what everyone said. But one little sugarplum was unconvinced.
"Why do we have to always dance to the same music?" the little sugarplum asked.
"Because it is the loveliest of all tunes," her mother told her. "It is like everything a sugarplum should be - light, graceful and lovely."
But try as she might -and she really did try- this poor little sugarplum simply could not be graceful. There were hushed conversations at the parent-teacher conferences and knowing looks from the other Candies. It looked like quite a tragic situation.
But then the little sugarplum discovered that what she was good at was math and science. So while the other little sugarplums danced, the sugarplum with two left feet went on to publish a Nobel winning thesis on relativity as it applies to aethetics of movement. This meant that the sugarplum's parents could retire and the sugarplum had a lovely new house built with a private dance studio where she could dance whenever she wanted.
And they all lived happily ever after.
