Once upon a time, in a cosy flat, lived a cat named Mat. Mat had a hat and sat on a mat. He loved to chat with his friend, a bat named Pat.
One day, Mat and Pat saw an old note. "It's a recipe for gingerbread," Pat spoke. Mat gave a nod and started to decode. "We need flour, sugar and a code."
Mat wore his hat, grabbed a tote, and set off on a boat. He bought what they wrote and back home, he did float.
Mat and Pat mixed, and into the oven, the gingerbread slid. It filled the flat with a warm, sweet smell that lifted every lid.
Once baked, they shared their treat with their friend, a rat named Nat. What a feat! A gingerbread hat! That was a chat they'd repeat.
