In the quiet town of West, lived an eager beaver named Greg. He was the best at making popcorn, a mix of zest and tang. One cold day, a test was set by the mayor, Jess. "Who makes the best popcorn in West?" he asked, placing an ad in the press.
Greg, with his chest all puffed, set out to win. He pegged his tent in the fest site, his heart beating like a drum in his vest. He got his pot, his corn and let it rest. Soon, the smell of his popcorn was all over West.
But then came Meg, the clever hen from the east. She, too, was known to make a popcorn feast. The contest was tough, the crowd was on edge. But Greg's popcorn was the best, even Meg confessed.
