Once upon a time, there was a potato named Po-tay-to who loved to have fun with his vegetable friends Carrot, Pepper, Corn, Onion and Cucumber. One day, they decided to make a big salad for their picnic. They chopped, mixed and threw in all the ingredients. Just when they were about to dig in, Po-tay-to noticed something strange. The salad was missing a crucial ingredient... humor! So, Po-tay-to had an idea. He grabbed a handful of dressing and squirted it into the air like a silly fountain. All of his friends laughed and joined in, making a hilarious mess. From that day on, they always made sure to add a pinch of laughter to their salads. The End.
