Once upon a time, in a small community, there lived a group of friends who were always curious about taxes. They decided to ask their parents about the different types of taxes they heard of, like government tax, property tax, income tax, sales tax, and so on.

One day, they all pooled their allowance money together and decided to buy a big cake for their community's government office. When they went to purchase the cake, they learned about sales tax, which was an extra amount they had to pay for buying something.

But, the real surprise came when they went to the government office with their cake. They met the tax collector who told them about property tax, income tax, and many other taxes that people have to pay to the government.

The friends were shocked to learn that even the salary they will earn when they grow up will be taxed! They realized that taxes are an important part of running a community and keeping it safe.

So, they decided to have a slice of their cake and enjoy their community while also being grateful for the taxes they pay. The end!
