Society at it's best: making children's stories politically correct.

Politically Correct Peter Pan
In London there lived a family of five, mother, father, Wendy, John, and Michael. Their friend Peter Pan from The Netherlands would come and visit them during the summer. Tinker Bell, Peter’s 21 year old guardian had decided to allow Peter to bring his friends to their home in The Netherlands. When Peter arrived at Wendy’s house he told her about the fun trip they were allowed to go on, as long as it was ok by Wendy’s parents. Because Tinker Bell was a responsible adult, Wendy and the boys were allowed to go.
They packed all of their essentials and headed for the boat harbor. Tinker Bell decided that the gas prices were too high to take the drive, so the boat would be their method of transportation. When they got on the boat Peter introduced Wendy, John, and Michael to the orphaned children and then started to tell them all about The Netherlands. It was home to the Netherland people, when they arrived they would be able to take a tour with them. As they traveled through the sea, the children came across another boat, Peter Pan had told the children it was home to Captain James Hook and his crew.
Captain Hook always carried a candy cane in his left hand. He loved candy and always asked the kids very politely to have some candy. Peter Pan warned the children that eating candy was not healthy and although he knew Caption Hook very well and they were friends they shouldn’t give in to his persuasions.
“Hey Peter, I see you have some new friends over there.”
“Yes Captain, this is Wendy, John, and Michael.”
“So would they like some candy?” Hook waved a large king size chocolate bar in the air. The smell lingered over to the children’s noses.
Thinking on his feet Peter grabbed a tall orange carrot and put it in the view of all of them. He took a bite and then asked the children if they wanted to have one too.
“Oh boy, I love carrots” said one of the boys.
“Hey can I have a tomato?” One of the girls exclaimed.
Now that they had their mind off the candy they said goodbye to Hook and continued on their way. They reached the harbor and gathered all of their belongings. Tinker Bell counted all of the children and made sure that everyone was with her. They finally checked into the hotel and left their luggage in the room. They went down to the lobby and met their tour guide for the evening. There stood a man and a woman waiting for them down stairs.
“Hello, we will be showing our wonderful town to all of you beautiful children today. Did you know that the Netherlands are known for their discouragement against drugs? No one should take drugs because they are bad for you.” The woman said while she turned to guide us to the vehicle they were taking.
The children rode around for hours and taking in all the sights. They made it a point to stop and eat their vegetable packed lunches too. When they went back to the hotel Wendy started to get homesick and she asked Peter if they could go back home.
Peter told them, “as you wish,” and then the orphaned children asked Wendy if they all could go home with her to stay.
She told them very well, and that they should get their things and they will go. What they didn’t know was that while they were away Captain Hook planted a jaw breaker in Peter’s bedroom. It was disguised as a tomato. The children walked outside to get ready to go to the harbor. Wendy stopped and looked back at Peter.
“Aren’t you going to come home too?” She asked kindly.
“No, the Netherlands are my home and I want to stay here and eat my vegetables.”
“Oh, alright then.”
She walked outside with Tinker Bell and they started towards the boat. Looking around she saw that Hook was unusually happy and she asked him why for.
“I gave Peter a present that’s all.” He gave a smirk and turned away.
Tinker Bell dropped her bags and ran back into the hotel as fast as she could. Up the stairs to Peter’s room she fled. Inside he was just about to bite a tomato when she jumped in front of him and grabbed it.
“What are you doing that’s mine.” Pan complained.
“That is not a tomato.” She tried to catch her breath.
With a sour look on her face she took a bite of the “tomato”. There was a huge cracking noise and Pan saw that what he thought was a tomato was actually a jaw breaker.
“Oh wow, Tink, thank you so much, but now what are you going to do about your teeth?”
“Don’t worry I knew my insurance would cover it so it’s ok, I’ll go to the dentist and everything will be fine. But that’s a story for another time.”
They slowly walked to the boat. When they got there Peter confronted Captain Hook.
“That wasn’t a very nice gift.”
“I’m sorry Pan, but you know how much I love candy. Why can’t you just have one piece?”
“Because vegetables are better for you. But I suppose the only way to end this tension between our friendship is to make a compromise.”
“Like what, do you suppose?” Captain Hook looked confused.
“Like one day a year kids will be able to go out and eat candy all day. We will call it character day. They can even dress up like different people too.”
“Fine, I guess that will be ok, say are you all going somewhere?”
“Yes Captain, could you take us back to London?” Wendy asked politely.
Captain Hook agreed to take them. They arrived just in time before dark. When they went upstairs Wendy’s parents were so happy to see them. John asked mother if it was ok for the orphaned children to stay. They were asking him the whole way back if they could. The parents found that there was no problem and the orphaned children were all finally adopted. Peter said goodbye and told Wendy that he will still visit her. Tinker Bell took Peter down stairs and they boarded Hook’s boat and waved behind them as they sailed into the sunset.
