A little boy has just finished his bath. He should get dressed, but he has other plans. He takes off running through the house without a stitch of clothing on. Being naked feels wonderful. He can run freely from room to room. He slides down the staircase on his bare bottom. He munches on cookies while completely undressed. Everything about being naked seems perfect to him. But then he gets an idea that might make the experience even better. What if he added just one thing to his naked outfit? What if he wore a cape? This simple story captures the pure joy a child finds in the most basic pleasures and the innocent rebellion of refusing to follow grown up rules about getting dressed.
