Once upon a time in a far-off land, there lived a group of food friends - Lima Beans, Popcorn, Peas, Banana, Carrot, Jam, Apple, Cookie, Corn and Pizza. They all lived happily in the kitchen cupboard and loved to play together.

One day, Lima Beans had an idea for a game. "Let's each take turns being the boss, and the others have to do what the boss says," he said.

First, it was Popcorn's turn to be the boss. He ordered everyone to make a big batch of popcorn. They all worked together and soon the kitchen smelled delicious.

Next, it was Banana's turn to be the boss. He told everyone to make a banana split. They all gathered around and made the most delicious dessert ever.

Carrot was up next and wanted to make a special dish. So, he ordered everyone to make Carrot Cake with a side of carrot sticks.

Jam decided to make a sandwich, with apple slices and a big dollop of jam. Cookie wanted to make a giant cookie, and Corn wanted to make corn on the cob.

Finally, it was Pizza's turn to be the boss. He wanted everyone to make a big pizza with all their favorite toppings. So, they all piled onto the pizza to make the ultimate pizza party!

In the end, they all learned that working together and having fun is what's most important. And, of course, they all enjoyed the delicious feast they had created. The end.
