You should tell me a bedtime story. It'll help your writer's block, and help me sleep...

once upon a time,
in a land to the north,
surrounded on one side by forest
and on the other by sound,
there lived a band of children
deserted by their families
and shunned by society.
.
this only led them to find their own way
a way of light and beauty
and wonder.
.
"what shall we do with freedom?"
one of them asked the others

"we shall do with it what it is there for, to live life fully."
one replied.
.
"and to not cause harm to another being?"
one asked, to nobody in particular.
.
"yes, for a life that causes suffering to another being is not a life worth living."
the first one replied.
.
then they all went skipping off into the forest, content in their decision on how to live life.
and they were promptly eaten by several large bears, who had an entirely different view on how best to live life.
