Once upon a time, there was a cup who lived in a forest. One day, the cup met an ant who was carrying a tiny ax. The ant asked the cup if he wanted to help cut down an apple tree. The cup agreed, and they set off to find the tree.

Along the way, they encountered a cat who was napping under a bush. The cat woke up and asked what they were doing. The cup explained their plan to cut down the apple tree, and the cat offered to help.

Just then, an alligator appeared and said he wanted to join in the fun. The four friends continued on their journey, but they soon realized that they needed a car to transport the apple back to the cup's house. So, they all piled into an old car and drove off to find the tree.

After much effort, they finally cut down the apple tree and filled the car with apples. As they drove back to the cup's house, they sang silly songs and told jokes to pass the time.

When they arrived at the cup's house, they feasted on the delicious apples and had a great time together. From that day on, the cup, ant, cat, and alligator became the best of friends and went on many more adventures together.
