write a children’s story about a platykurtic distribution that is bullied at school but then learns to accept its kurtosis after talking with the school counsellor, Kullback–Leibler
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a little platykurtic distribution named Platy. Platy was a very special little distribution, but he was also very different from the other distributions at his school.
While the other distributions were tall and peaked, Platy was short and flat. This made him the subject of much teasing and bullying from the other distributions, who would call him names and exclude him from their games.
Platy felt very sad and lonely, and didn’t know what to do. He didn’t understand why he was different from the other distributions, and he didn’t know how to fit in.
One day, Platy met the school counsellor, Kullback–Leibler. Kullback–Leibler was a kind and wise old distribution, who listened to Platy’s troubles and offered him some advice.
“Platy, you are a platykurtic distribution, and that means you are special,” Kullback–Leibler said. “Your kurtosis is different from the other distributions, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. It just means you are unique, and that’s something to be proud of.”
Platy listened to Kullback–Leibler’s words, and felt his spirits lift. He realized that being different was not a bad thing, and that he should be proud of who he was.
From that day on, Platy no longer felt sad and lonely. He accepted his kurtosis and began to make friends with the other distributions at school. They learned to appreciate his flatness and shortness, and they all had many happy times together.
Platy learned that it was important to be true to himself, and to accept and celebrate his differences. And he lived happily ever after, knowing that he was loved and valued for who he was
