Once upon a time there was a pencil case named Pencil. He lived in a bag with all his friends: a pencil, a pen, a sharpener, and an eraser. They all had different jobs but they all worked together to help their owner write and draw.

One day, Pencil Case noticed that the book was feeling sad. "What's wrong?" asked Pencil Case. The book replied, "I have so many empty pages and no one is using you or me to write or draw anything."

So Pencil, Pen, Sharpener and Eraser came up with a plan. They would put on a show for the book! They practiced all day and night until they were ready.

The big day arrived and the show began. Pencil wrote jokes, Pen drew pictures, Sharpener sharpened Pencil's jokes, and Eraser made everything clean and neat. The book was so happy and laughed so hard that all its empty pages were filled with joy and creativity.

And from that day on, the pencil case, pencil, pen, sharpener, eraser, and book were the best of friends, always working together to bring happiness and creativity to everyone who used them.

The end.
