Here's a story for you:
Once upon a time, there was a cat named Mittens who loved to wear hats. One day, she saw a van driving by and decided to hop in. The van was filled with mats, bats, rats, and cans. Mittens was having so much fun playing with all of the items, she didn't even notice when the van started to drive away. Suddenly, the driver, a man, realized he had a passenger and pulled over. The man asked Mittens what she was doing in his van and she said she just wanted to play with all the fun things. The man chuckled and said, "I'm going on a road trip, would you like to come along?" Mittens eagerly agreed and they set off with a map, a fan, and a pan in tow. They drove, ran, and had so much fun on their adventure. And they lived happily ever after. The end.
