Once upon a time, there was a busy baker named Betty who baked the best cakes in town. One day, she ran out of flour and asked her friend, the miller, for help. The miller agreed to lend her some flour but only if she helped him with his grinding. So, the baker put on her apron and got to work.

Next, they went to the grocer to buy some fruits for the cake. But the grocer had a problem, his truck was stuck in the mud and he needed a trucker to pull it out. The baker and the miller offered to help and soon they were on their way to the farmer's field.

The farmer was having a hard time with his crops, so the baker, the miller, and the grocer all joined in to help. After a long day of work, they were exhausted, but happy to have helped their friend.

Just then, a worker came along and told them about a big cake-making competition. The baker, the miller, the grocer, the farmer, and the trucker all decided to work together and entered the competition.

Their cake was a hit! It was so delicious that everyone wanted a piece. The judges declared them the winners, and they all celebrated with a big slice of cake. From that day on, they worked together as a team, helping each other whenever they needed it. And that's why they were known as the "Funny Five".
