Once upon a time, there was a group of clothes who lived in a closet. Socks, Hat, Trousers, Shoes, Shorts, Jacket, T-shirt and Dress were all the best of friends. They loved to play together and have fun!

One day, they decided to have a race to see who could get dressed first. Socks started off strong, but Trousers tripped him up. Shoes ran ahead, but Shorts took a shortcut and won the race.

Jacket and T-shirt were laughing so hard that they couldn't even start. Dress twirled around, saying she didn't want to race since she already looked fabulous.

Hat, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally spoke up. "Why don't we all just help each other get dressed? That way, we can all be winners!" And so, they all teamed up to get dressed together.

In the end, they all looked great and had a lot of fun! The moral of the story is that teamwork makes the dream work, even when getting dressed.
