Mr Clown and the Seven Deadly Sins: Envy
Envy [en-vee] –noun
1.) An extreme feeling of discontent or covetousness of another’s advantages, success, possessions, or relationships.
While it’s true that aspiring to attain certain goals or achieve certain things can make a person a better person, it’s also true that being envious of what another has can be very detrimental to a person’s well-being. Preston Sinclaire looks at Tyler Tucker every morning first thing when he gets to school and his eyes are full of envy and his cheeks flush a very unsightly green hue. Every day Preston thinks, “Why can’t I have everything that Tyler has?” Tyler is the star of the Green River Elementary football team, and the basketball team, and the wrestling team, and the volleyball team. He is popular with all the other children. And, he is dating Mitzie O’Reilly. Preston Sinclaire has had a crush on 5th grader Mitzie O’Reilly all school year. Even though he is only a 3rd grader, he has secretly hoped that perhaps one day Mitzie would look at him and see him as something more than a nine year old. He has held that hope for so long now, even though Mitzie has been Tyler’s girlfriend all year. When Preston helped Mitzie hang up the posters for the Read campaign featuring reality TV stars of The Mountains Honey and Stanton all she could do was talk about how awesome Tyler was. And, Preston could just feel his face turning that awful green color, but he just didn’t care. His envy has just been growing and growing. And all the while Mr. Clown has been watching and waiting, hoping that Preston would get his envy under control. Alas, it’s not looking as though that would be the case… and Mr. Clown is going to have to intervene… and we know what that means boys and girls? Don’t we?
