For the love of walnuts

"How can I get him to notice me?" sobbed Collie van den Berg.

"Sugar-coating might work" replied Marion, her assistant, helpfully.

"But what could he possibly see in a peanut like me?" wailed Collie, tears flowing in translucent, torrid streams down her nutty cheeks.

"Oh, even walnuts like Prince Vernon need the support and acceptance of nuts as wonderful as you, no matter what your differences might be."

"Maybe a good salting would do the trick?" attempted Collie, the tide of her tears receding somewhat, as she allowed herself to dare hope for the love of a walnut so grand as Prince Vernon.

"Yes! That's the spirit!" smiled Marion, glad to see her friend and employer find some comfort.

"Hmmm..." pondered Collie and Marion, plotting simultaneously.

THE END
