Once upon a time, in a logging camp deep in the forest, there lived a lumberjack named Jack. He was known for his talent in chopping down trees and forging axes. One day, Jack was feeling bored and decided to try cooking on his griddle. He made pancakes and poured syrup all over them, but they were too tough to eat. That's when he had a brilliant idea to use his lumberjack skills and turn his batter into a batter-log. He put the batter-log on the griddle and soon, the sweet aroma of syrup filled the logging camp. The other lumberjacks couldn't resist and came running to see what Jack was cooking. Jack proudly showed off his batter-log and the lumberjacks were amazed by his talent. They all sat down to enjoy the delicious treat. From that day on, every time Jack wanted to show off his culinary skills, he would make a batter-log and share it with everyone in the logging camp. And they all lived happily ever after, using their harnesses to climb tall trees and cook sweet treats on the griddle.
