Once upon a time, there was a rat named Ratty who loved to play with his friends. One day, they all met up in a park and decided to play a game of baseball. Ratty was up to bat, and he was so nervous that he started to sweat. Suddenly, a fan blew his hat off, and Ratty ran after it.

As he was chasing his hat, he bump into a man carrying a pan. The man got so mad that he threw the pan at the rat, but Ratty was too fast and he managed to dodge it. He then ran into a cat who was sitting on a mat, and the cat got scared and ran away.

Ratty finally caught his hat, but then he saw a van coming towards him. He quickly jumped into the back of the van, and to his surprise, he found a bunch of cans. Ratty started to play with the cans, and before he knew it, the van drove off.

After a while, the van stopped, and Ratty saw that he was in front of a big stadium. He realized that he was now part of a band, and they were going to perform in front of thousands of people. Ratty played the cans like a pro, and the crowd went wild.

From that day on, Ratty was known as the best drummer in town. He always wore his hat, and he never forgot to bring his fan with him to keep cool during his performances.

The end.
