Once upon a time, there was a goat named Stinky who loved to eat clothes. This was a big problem for the villagers, as they kept losing their clothes to Stinky's stinky appetite! One day, a smart kid named Max had an idea. He decided to use math to solve the problem. He calculated exactly how much food Stinky needed to eat and made sure he had enough to eat so he wouldn't be tempted by the clothes. From that day on, Stinky stopped eating clothes and the villagers were happy once again. The end.
