The Ghost of Cootcherland

In a distant galaxy, light years away, exists a very unique and unusual planet and it's name is Cootcherland.

The citizens that inhabited Cootcherland looked like leprachaun shaped creatures with 2 hands and 2 feet; no arms or legs like we have. At the top of there heads were two antennas. They floated around from place to place and changed color according to there moods.

Yellow meant the Cootcher was depressed and felt hopeless, the color red signified a frightened Cootcher. Blue meant that the Cootcher was feeling content and pink expressed happiness and love. The worse and most Ominous color a Cootcher could display would be none other than the color Green.

The "Grand Master Cootcher of Cootcherland" owned the color green and he would never change color. He was filled with rage. His name was Boobaloo". He had to have control of all the other Cootchers and controlled where they could and couldn't float. He hated to see pink cootchers because he didn't want happiness or love on his planet.

Most of the cootchers were red or yellow and "Boobaloo" liked this very much.

Boobaloo knew a secret. It was that of "Baboo", the purest and most loving Cootcher. Because he was so pure, he displayed no color at all and therefore was dubbed the ghost of Cootcherland.

You see, Baboo couldn't be seen and so when he would try to establish contact with his fellow Cootchers to spread light and love, the citizens would quickly float away because all they could hear was his voice. This made Baboo very sad indeed. He had no one to talk to or love him.

Baboo was nothing but a ghost to the other cootchers and Boobaloo would back that up even though he knew the truth. So Boobaloo thought he'd try to convince Boobaloo to have a Cootcherland meeting so that the truth could be revealed about him being nothing but a so called "ghost".

The next day he approached Boobaloo who didn't like Baboo's presence very much and was would turn even greener with jealously and anger. "Boobaloo, would you please tell the other citizens about me so that they will welcome me with warmth and love instead of repelling me and floating quickly away"? Boobaloo roared back, "You want to take my title".
"No, not at all, you can keep your title and the citizens would love you, not fear you."
Boobaloo was now feared with fear like most of the cootchers and said "I'm red now, you made me red". "The citizens can't see me like this, I can't have it!" Baboo said, "Your'e brave and you can do it. Nothing will change and you will still be the Grand Master Cootcher of Cootcherland. "They will love you, not fear you!"

Boobaloo took some time to think about all this and the following day he called a Cootcherland meeting. So the citizens all showed up and noticed his knew color, red.
Boobaloo bravely went on to tell the citizens the truth about the "ghost", Baboo and that he was'nt a ghost at all. "Baboo is the purest and most loving Cootcher and it was wrong for me to keep this secret. As Boobaloo reported this shocking news, his colors changed until he became invisible like Baboo. Then slowly one by one each and every cootcher changed colors until they all disapeared. They didn't need to be seen with colors anymore. They just need to feel LOVE!!!
