Pum & Nan's Word Adventure: A Fun Tale of Anagrams, Palindromes and Phonics

Once upon a time, there was a rich heiress named Pam. One day, she discovered that her name was a simile of "pum" (a soft, muffled explosive sound). She found this so funny that she decided to change her name to Pum, and became known as the Pum Heiress.
One day, she met a fink named Nan who loved playing with words. They decided to have a contest to see who could make the funniest anagram, palindrome, and word with the most consonants.
Pum came up with the anagram "map" for "pam". Nan countered with the palindrome "level". But when it came to the word with the most consonants, Pum pulled out the big guns and spelled "phonics". Nan couldn't believe it and declared Pum the winner of their word game.
From then on, the two were the best of friends and had many more fun word games together. The end.
