Once there was a pencil named Peter. He lived on a table and loved to write jokes. One day, he met a cap named Carl who wanted to help him write better jokes. They became best friends and traveled around the table together, meeting new friends like Eraser Emily and Chair Charlie.

One day, they came across a pen named Paul who was feeling down because everyone kept making fun of his small size. Peter and Carl decided to cheer him up by writing a funny story just for him. They used their favorite writing tools—Peter used his sharp lead, Carl used his colorful top, and Eraser Emily used her magic to erase any mistakes.

Together, they wrote a hilarious story about a magical world where chairs could fly and erasers could make anything disappear. Paul was so tickled by the story that he laughed so hard, his tiny size didn't matter anymore.

From that day on, Paul was no longer sad and joined in on all their adventures. The four friends had many more laughs and wrote lots of silly stories together. They discovered that the best stories are made when you work together with your friends and use your imagination.
