The 'wordy' boy

The forest masked the house but nothing covered what went on inside.
The little boy sat perched on the edge of the couch as he watched the box in front of him intently.  His gaze fixed ahead of him, he paused momentarily to twitch. 

He was one of the most beautiful boys around.  His short brown hair sat neatly cropped on the top of his small head.  Leon was full of tact.  He carefully selected every word that came from his mouth.  They were like handpicked sweets and most of the time medicinal to the hearer.

Sometimes others would ask him, 'Leon, where did you find such a word like that?'  He was full of unique and interesting words that spilled from his mouth and brought the dictionary to life!  It always had to be the right word.
