Involved Cookies
Bond Story
Healthy body! Healthy mind! Healthy flavors! The annual Cookie Healthathon was right around the corner.
The judges’ greatest point of scrutiny was crunchiness. Only the crunchiest of Cookies, from head to toe, could claim victory! Not a single soggy or crumbly patch allowed! Only those with outstanding physical prowess and years of training behind could handle such a feat. This year, as always, the fittest of Cookies were abuzz with boasts and brags of their assured win.
Lift. Crunch. Flex. Pose. Once again. Muscle Cookie’s training regimen was meticulous and honed. His shape and strength had no equal. The grand prize was his for the taking, no competition. From the shadows, a voice of doubt scoffed at Muscle Cookie’s claim. That was Ninja Cookie, who appeared as if from nowhere. “Anyone could win as long as they are brave enough to begin training!” shouted GingerBrave. Courage and bravery were, after all, his forte.
The conversation flowed and somehow landed on the proper virtues of exercise. Each with their own view, the trio had pumped themselves up a tad much. The Healthathon would declare whose training regimen was the greatest!
Muscle Cookie, flexing an extra scrupulous fervor, intensified his workout. He squeezed an extra set of kettlebell swinging into his daily routine and cut time for breaks. Ninja Cookie, with his unwavering determination, decided to push himself further. One extra jump at all times. Each time he felt gravity take its toll, he strained to jump once more in defiance.
As for GingerBrave.. Well, he kept running. Through fields, through muds, through rain and snow. He ran and ran at every opportunity. Though not as strenuous as Muscle or Ninja Cookies’ routines, it was a decent enough workout.
Time passed, and the day of reckoning was at hand. Everyone’s gaze was set upon two of the fittest Cookies ever seen. Muscle Cookie, rearing to take a victory pose and sport his biceps. Ninja Cookie, swift as the wind and prepared to soar into the air without a running start. A debate was on: strong arms vs. capable legs. The drumroll commenced. The announcement for the grand prize was imminent. The grand prize of the Cookie Healthathon was awarded to..
GingerBrave!
Crunchy as crunchy could be. Not too much, not too little. GingerBrave radiated courage and bravery through his whole body. The judges concluded that the other two had a much too narrow focus in their workouts. Indeed, less is more. The best results come from everyday effort towards doing what you like and not from the desire to win everyone’s attention by going the extra mile or two.
