Once upon a time, there was a flat cat named Mat who lived in a hat. One day, while sitting and chatting with his friend Rat, they decided to play a game of baseball with a bat. However, as soon as they started playing, they realized they were terrible at it! Every time they tried to hit the ball, they missed. Suddenly, a wise old owl named Sat flew by and offered to help them. With Sat's guidance, Mat and Rat finally learned how to play baseball and soon became the best players in town. The end.
