A True Parable of Temptation

There was once a sucker that looked sweet and tasty. A dear girl so desired this sucker that it consumed her thoughts. She took the sucker and brought it to her wise counsel. Asking the wise counsel for the sucker; to which the wise counsel said "no." The little girl was disappointed but decided that rather than eat the sucker she would JUST hold onto it. So she carried it around with her. Before long she slipped away into a private place and began to peel back the wrapper. The wise counsel knowing her delimma reminded the little girl to not eat the sucker to which she replied..."I am just holding it." Moments later the little girl could not resist any longer and slipping back the wrapper just a bit, she took a lick. A quick taste. Surely she was not eating it and this "taste" would be ok. But one taste led to another. For once the taste was in her mouth she wanted more and more. Wise counsel not wanting her to devour the sucker asked for her to hand it over. There was deep thought and sadness as she handed it over. The wise counsel placed the forbidden treat out of sight. Even after it was out of sight the sucker was still on the little girls mind. "Where is the sucker?" To which the wise counsel replied..."out of sight." Eventually she went on her way. The sucker forgotten. Except the sticky little remenants that remained on her lips.
