Once upon a time there was a sensible straight line who was hopelessly in love... with a dot

But the frivolous dot wasn't a bit interested as she had eyes for another...”Why take chances” said the Line. “I'm dependable, I know where I'm going, I've got dignity!”

Without the Dot, the Line became more and more morose. He stopped eating or sleeping...

and before long he was completely on edge.

The Line, in order to impress the Dot, attempted to change his shape and with great concentration he was able to change direction and bend wherever he chose...

and he made an angle...and another..and another and soon he was making triangles...hexagons... parallelograms...and a whole host of shapes and forms

The Dot was overwhelmed. She giggled like a school girl... “do the one with all the funny curves again” she cooed,
