| a small golliwog doll |
Ashamed and reviled by society, poor gollywog toy could not face anyone,
could not bare to be in the company of people. They assumed he was
ignorant and stupid and were scared he would cause trouble wherever he
went. But in his heart, he was a peace loving artist who was just
misunderstood. "I can't help the way I am!" he exclaimed, alone into the
night, and "Don't stereotype me!". In desperation, his fairy-god mother
made for him a super hero outfit that would disguise him. Finally, he
could be amongst the people proud, content in the knowledge that they
would not burn him at the stake like a witch, or stone him to death in a
frenzied riot. He was now, and forever will be Octopus Boy!!!!! Hurrah!
Oooooooo.. I think he's just being so cute as a gollywog! I've read about gollywogs since I was a little girl reading Enid Blyton's bedtime stories, but never really saw a real one!
