Happened In-Universe in the episode Eugene, Eugene!, where Mr. Leichliter gives the title play an Alternate Ending where The Bad Guy Wins, the lesson being Nice Guys Finish Last (heck, Arnold\'s character, the Big Bad, even had a Villain Song called that). The kids take it upon themselves in the end to perform the real, happy ending during the live performance.

Frankly, I\'m not convinced there\'s an Aesop here to begin with, but, given that the performance was reverted to the standard happy ending, the potentially family unfriendly Aesop is completely averted. This leaves the possible Aesop as something having to do with standing up to authority figures when they are in the wrong; protecting an artistic work from being corrupted, vandalized, etc.; simply not being pessimistic; or some similarly conventional message. Consequently, this is not an example. I\'m removing it.
