Once upon a time, in a far-off jungle on a planet called Cocoa, there lived a tribe of chocolate makers. They lived on a large cacao plantation and used their machetes to harvest the cacao beans.

The cacao beans were then taken to a mill where they were ground into a paste. This paste was then put into a large container to undergo a process called fermentation. This process helped to bring out the natural flavors of the cacao and make it taste even better.

Next, the chocolate makers used a special machine called a conching machine to smooth and mix the chocolate until it was silky smooth. They added other ingredients to enhance the flavor of the chocolate, like sugar and vanilla.

The chocolate was then ready to be consumed by the tribe and everyone was very excited about it. They would have chocolate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! They would even use it to make a delicious sauce to pour over their food, called mole.

The tribe was very proud of their chocolate and they would often share it with visitors from other planets. Everyone who tried it loved it and would always ask for more.

And so, the tribe of chocolate makers continued to make their delicious chocolate and share it with others, spreading happiness and joy wherever they went. The end.
