Once upon a time, there was a baby who loved cookies. One day, the baby's favorite cookie was in the car and the baby wanted to take a bite. But, on the way, an alligator appeared and said, "I want that cookie too!" The baby thought for a moment and came up with a plan. He offered the alligator a banana. The alligator loved bananas and took it happily. The baby was able to eat his cookie in peace.
Later, the baby decided to read a book about ants. Suddenly, an ant appeared and asked for a share of the cookie. The baby cut a piece of the cookie and shared it with the ant. The ant was so happy that he offered the baby an apple as a thank you gift. The baby was so full of treats that he went to sleep with a smile on his face.
The end.
