Once upon a time, there was a pitcher named Mitt who played for a baseball team. Mitt had a lucky mitt that he always wore on game day. One day, the pitcher's coach told him to wear a mask because of a new rule. Mitt was confused because he thought his lucky mitt was enough good luck charm.

During the game, Mitt noticed that the catcher was giving him funny signals from behind the plate. Instead of the usual signals for pitches, the catcher was making silly faces and gestures. Mitt couldn't help but laugh and soon the whole stadium was in on the joke.

The pitcher and catcher had so much fun with their silly signals that they ended up winning the game. The coach was impressed with their teamwork and declared them the best pitcher-catcher duo in the league. From that day on, Mitt never forgot to bring his mask and his sense of humor to every game. The end.
