Once upon a time, there was a farmer named Jerry who lived in a cozy farmhouse with his wife. One day, he had a brilliant idea to turn his shed into a barn for all the animals on the farm. So, he got to work and built a pen, corral and orchard next to it. All the animals were thrilled with the new addition, especially the horses who loved to run and play in the orchard. But one day, a mischievous horse named Spot decided to have some fun. He snuck into the shed, found a pen and started to draw all over the walls. The other animals couldn't stop laughing at the silly drawings, and even Jerry had to admit it was the most creative thing he had seen in a long time. From then on, Spot became known as the artist of the barn, and every time someone needed a laugh, they would go see what silly drawings he had made in the shed.
