THANKS A LOT FOR THE CHAT TODAY.
I'D LOVE TO ASK YOU A FEW
QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR CAMPAIGN,
BUT RIGHT NOW, I MUST KNOW,
ARE CARROTS REALLY
THE FAVOURITE VEGETABLE
OF THE CUTEST ANIMALS?
Carrot says, HAVE YOU SEEN
A BABY CHIPMUNK?
Carrot asks, OR A LITTLE BUNNY
WHOSE TINY NOSE
NEVER STOPS DOING
THAT ADORABLE TWITCHING THING?
A GOAT,
WITH THEIR FLOPPY EARS,
PONIES WITH THEIR BIG EYES,
LONG, FLUFFY TAILS.
PUPPIES?!
Steve says, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
YES, WELL, OKAY,
YOU CLEARLY MAKE A VERY
COMPELLING CASE,
THOSE ARE SOME TRULY
ADORABLE ANIMALS.
BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT
WHY YOU'RE RUNNING.
WHY DO YOU WANNA BE
MAYOR OF THE GARDEN?
Carrot says, WELL, I THINK THAT'S
PRETTY OBVIOUS, STEVE.
CARROTS ARE AMAZING!
Steve says, YES, WELL,
THEY CERTAINLY ARE, BUT UM...
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S TRY THIS.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE OTHER
CANDIDATES FOR A SECOND,
CAUSE I'M SURE YOU KNOW
BROCCOLI HAS BEEN CELEBRATING
THEIR STATUS AS A SUPERFOOD,
QUITE HIGH IN VITAMIN C.
WHAT QUALITIES DO YOU BRING
TO THE TABLE?
Carrot scoffs.
She says, BRING TO THE TABLE?
I AM THE TABLE!
Steve smiles.
Carrot says, I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.
ABSOLUTELY,
I GET IT,
BROCCOLI HAS A BUNCH
OF VITAMIN C.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT'S BETTER
THAN VITAMIN C?
VITAMIN A,
AND I'M FULL OF IT.
Steve raises his eyebrows.
Carrot says, THE ALPHABET DOESN'T START
WITH C, AFTER ALL.
Steve says, WELL, I CAN'T ARGUE
WITH THAT.
NOW, I GOT ONE FINAL
QUESTION FOR YOU.
IF YOU'RE ELECTED
MAYOR OF THE GARDEN,
WHAT KIND OF LONG-TERM GOALS
DO YOU HAVE?
Carrot says, GREAT, GREAT QUESTION.
GOALS, YES.
I HAVE LOTS OF
LONG-TERM GOALS.
AS A CARROT,
I AM COMMITTED TO
NEVER LOSING SIGHT
OF WHAT'S IMPORTANT.
CONTINUING TO BE THE MOST
VERSATILE VEGGIE IN THE GARDEN,
AND REMAINING AN INTEGRAL PART
OF SCHOOL LUNCHES,
STIR-FRYS, SOUPS,
TURKEY DINNERS, AND CAKE!
Steve says, WELL, THOSE ARE SOME
LOFTY GOALS INDEED.
YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE
CHATTING WITH YOU, CARROT.
GOOD LUCK ON
THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
Carrot points.
She says, IT SURE HAS.
Carrot and Steve smile.
