Once upon a time, there was a school bus filled with toys. A teddy bear, a Barbie doll, a jigsaw puzzle and a comic book were all on board. They were off to a story book club where they would read the latest adventure.
On the way, they stumbled upon a chess board and decided to play a game. The teddy bear was the king, the Barbie doll was the queen, the jigsaw puzzle pieces were the knights and bishops, and the comic book was the castle.
But as they were playing, a gust of wind blew away all the paper pieces. The toys quickly jumped into action to catch them before they flew away. It was quite a challenge, but with teamwork, they managed to gather all the pieces.
When they finally arrived at the story book club, they were exhausted but happy. And from that day on, they made sure to always keep their chess pieces secure!
