Once upon a time, in a far-off kingdom, there lived a group of creatures known as the Column Clan. They were responsible for holding up the kingdom's castle and were known for their unison laughter and cheerful demeanor.
One day, the clan faced a dilemma. The kingdom was in danger of falling apart because one of the columns had cracked. The creatures were torn on what to do, but then an extraordinary idea struck them.
They would take turns pretending to be the damaged column, so their friends could get some much-needed rest. They all agreed and began taking turns, but the responsibility was harder than it looked.
One day, it was the turn of a sarcastic creature named Sassy. Sassy was known for his quick retorts and wit. When another creature asked how he was holding up, Sassy replied with a sarcastic tone, "Oh, I'm definitely holding up just fine, thank you very much!"
The other creatures couldn't help but laugh and soon all of the Column Clan was laughing in unison at Sassy's remark. They continued to take turns, and the kingdom was saved all because of their extraordinary sense of humor.
The end.
