Here's a story for kids:

Once upon a time, there was a little vegetarian named Veggie who loved to decorate. He lived in a village where everyone loved to have potluck parties to celebrate special events like Thanksgiving.

One day, Veggie heard that the villagers were having a big potluck for Thanksgiving and he was so excited to decorate the table with all sorts of colorful fruits and vegetables. He worked hard to create a beautiful centerpiece and was looking forward to trying all the delicious dishes at the potluck.

But when Veggie arrived, he was shocked to find out that all the food was made with meat! No one had thought about making anything for Veggie because they assumed he would just "starve." Veggie was heartbroken and didn't know what to do.

Just then, an idea popped into his head. He quickly ran home and gathered all the ingredients he needed to make his favorite dressing. He came back to the potluck and started cooking his dressing on a small stove.

Everyone was curious about the delicious smell and soon Veggie's dressing became the star of the show! Everyone loved it so much that they asked Veggie to come to all their future potlucks and bring his amazing dressing.

And so, Veggie was never hungry again at any potluck. The end.
