Once upon a time there was a chef named Gloss who lived in a kingdom filled with delicious food. However, he was known for being very detached and could never seem to find the perfect recipe to make his dishes truly savory. One day, Gloss decided to go on a journey to find the secret ingredient to make his dishes the most delicious in all the land.

As he traveled, he encountered different foods and spices, but none of them seemed to do the trick. Suddenly, he stumbled upon a magical tree that was laden with the most amazing spices he had ever seen. Gloss couldn't help but sample the spices and found they were the perfect addition to his recipes.

However, the tree was guarded by a dragon who spoke incessantly, making it difficult for Gloss to get the spices. But being a creative chef, Gloss came up with a plan. He adorn himself in a disguise and approached the dragon, telling him a joke that made the dragon laugh so hard, it allowed Gloss to take as many spices as he needed.

From that day on, Gloss's dishes were the talk of the kingdom and everyone came from far and wide to taste the savory creations. The dragon and Gloss even became good friends, and the dragon would often visit the kingdom to taste Gloss's latest dishes.

The end.
