Once upon a time, there was a little number named Zero. Although he appeared small and insignificant, he had a big dream of becoming greater. He often felt discouraged by the larger numbers who seemed stronger and more important.
One day, while wandering through the park, Zero stumbled upon a magical doughnut shop. The owner offered him a delicious treat and told him that he had a secret to share.
The owner explained that even though Zero may seem small on his own, when combined with other numbers, he could become much stronger. Zero was skeptical, but decided to give it a try.
He teamed up with ten, and together they created a powerful number - 10. Zero was amazed at how much stronger he had become and realized that his dream of becoming great was possible after all.
From that day on, Zero never underestimated his worth and always remembered the power of teaming up with others.
The end.
