Once upon a time, there was a piece of furniture named Fred. Fred was a chair who lived in a big old house with lots of other furniture like him. One day, Fred woke up feeling sad and unhappy. He didn't know why he was feeling this way, but he felt like he needed to change.
So Fred transformed himself into a magical flying chair and flew up through the rafters of the house. He flapped his arms frantically, trying to find the source of his emotions. Suddenly, he heard a small voice calling for help. It was a baby bird who had gotten trapped in the rafters and couldn't fly down.
Fred swooped down and helped the bird escape its predicament. The bird thanked him and as a reward, it gave Fred the ability to swallow anything and make it disappear. Fred was so happy and his emotions transformed into joy.
From that day on, Fred allowed himself to be used by the children in the house to make their dreams come true. They would sit on him, tell him what they wanted to disappear, and with a quick swallow, their wish would come true.
And so, Fred lived happily ever after, spreading joy and happiness wherever he went.
