Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Max who had a big problem. You see, Max was allergic to peanuts, and every time he ate anything with peanuts in it, his face would swell up and he would start to wheeze.

One day, Max went to a restaurant with his family. He was so excited because he heard that they served his favorite dish: spaghetti! But when he sat down to eat, he noticed that the label on the menu said that the sauce contained peanuts as an ingredient.

Max started to feel a little scared. He didn't want his face to swell up and start wheezing again. But then he had an idea. He took out his medicine from his pocket and started to mix it into the sauce.

Everyone at the table was watching him, wondering what he was doing. But when Max took a bite of the spaghetti, something amazing happened. The sauce was still delicious, but his face didn't swell up, and he didn't start to wheeze!

Max's family was so happy that they all clapped and cheered. From that day on, Max became known as the "Spaghetti Hero" because he found a way to enjoy his favorite food even though he was allergic to peanuts. The End.
