Although it may seem impossible for Archie to exhibit a personality, you will find that he is usually saying what he shouldn’t and is getting unexpected reactions from crowds wherever he goes. Nothing ever bothers Archie. He’s a happy go-lucky little guy who  really isn’t serious about anything. His outlook is one of “That’s okay with me - whatever it is.” If he is right about an issue, he becomes elated with himself. If it is revealed that he is wrong, that’s okay too. He never gets hungry, never has bills to pay, never gets tired and never sleeps. You see, Archie is a puppet.

He plays many roles. One day, he’s a baseball player. On another, he’s a South American bandit, a leader of the parade or a stock broker. Sometimes, he’s a teacher, trying to teach what he doesn’t know. Other times, he’s a student, trying not to be taught. He seldom gets his facts straight or understands how to conduct himself. Most of what he says has little or no value. But, he doesn’t care. Archie is an entertainer. He just has fun and helps others do the same. He gives a thrill to small kids and entertains adults of all ages. He has a lot of help though. His help comes from those whom he entertains. From time to time, it’s good to stop for a while and just relax with a little bit of fun and laughter. That’s what Archie is all about.
As you continue to read, you will see how Archie's antics in entertainment came to be and the positive and wholesome affects that the reading of
good short stories can have on the entire family.
