sugary

Sweet, from the moment he hatched chirped ‘sweet sweet,’ and his mother despaired for he hated worms so much.

One day, she came across a gummy worm, which lay underneath a picnic table.  Sweet swallowed the whole sugary worm, and flew straight up and in circles.

At the corner candy shop, sweet spent most of his days.  The children would point and smile at Sweet, and he would keep chirping his name.
