Once upon a time, in a colorful fruit kingdom, the fruits had a big problem. They needed to pick their new king or queen, but they couldn't agree on who it should be. Lemon, Lime and Onion suggested themselves, but the other fruits didn't think they were sweet enough. Apple, Peas, Pineapple, Grapes, Orange, Mango, Watermelon, Carrot, and Banana tried to prove that they were the sweetest.

One day, the fruits decided to have a big feast to see who could make the yummiest dish. Each fruit got to work in the kitchen, whipping up their best recipes. Lemon made a sour lemonade, Lime made a tangy lime pie, Onion made an onion soup that made everyone cry, Apple made apple sauce, Peas made pea soup, Pineapple made pineapple upside down cake, Grapes made grape juice, Orange made orange juice, Mango made mango smoothie, Watermelon made watermelon sorbet, Carrot made carrot cake, and Banana made banana bread.

At the end of the feast, the fruits all agreed that each dish was delicious, but there was one fruit who stood out from the rest. It was the sweetest, juiciest, and most perfect fruit of all, the Banana! The other fruits cheered and clapped, and Banana was crowned the new king or queen of the fruit kingdom. From that day on, the fruits all lived happily ever after, with King or Queen Banana ruling over them with a fair and just hand. The end.
