Once upon a time, there was a pencil case named Pencil who lived in a big bag with his friends: a pen, a book, a sharpener, and an eraser. One day, Pencil was feeling lonely and wanted to play with his friends, but they were all busy with their own tasks. So, he decided to go on an adventure to find new friends.

Pencil started his journey and soon met a ruler who was straightening all the crooked lines in the world. The ruler asked Pencil if he needed help, but Pencil replied, "I'm just looking for new friends." The ruler suggested that Pencil should go see the crayons who loved to color the world.

So, Pencil continued his journey and soon found the crayons. They welcomed him with open arms and asked if he wanted to join them in coloring the world. Pencil was so happy and started to color, but then he realized he had forgotten how to color because he was just a pencil case. The crayons laughed and told him he could still be their friend even if he couldn't color.

From that day on, Pencil became friends with the crayons and went on many more adventures together. And every time he returned to his bag, he was filled with joy and laughter, knowing that he had many friends who loved him just the way he was.

The end.
