Once upon a time, in a tiny damp barn, lived a stern cat named Fern. She had a glum chum, a tiny lamp named Champ.
Fern yearned to bake a pie, but her barn was bare. She felt a lump in her throat, her heart felt torn. With a sigh, she turned to the worn out Champ. "Can you help turn my luck?" she asked.
Champ, the brave lamp, took a step and lit up the barn. In the corner, he found corn and a ripe, juicy plum, just enough to make a pie.
Fern, feeling less forlorn, baked her pie. As the warm smell filled the barn, she felt a glimmer of joy. Though still damp and cold, the barn was home, and she had her pie and her friend, Champ.
