The Story of Toaster

Toaster yawned. It was the beginning of a new day! And today was a very special one. He was going to move to Blue Bear Land!

He still remembered how he saw the poster and immediately decided that he would move. Why shouldn't he? It was a great opportunity to get to know other people, and more importantly, get away from the burglar who kept stealing all of his crops at night.

He had tried everything to get rid of the annoying thief. He had stood out there all night and was confident that no one had came, but when dawn broke he saw that a large swath of lettuce had been taken!

He had hired friends to be watchguards, only to find that they fell asleep. So then he took some vegetables and advertised, saying that if they came to watch he would give them a pound of vegetables each. Unfortunately, no one applied for the job.

But when he walked through town and saw the poster for Blue Bear Land -- you didn't need any money, and everyone was nice to each other! -- he immediately called the number. After a short wait they said that he was accepted! What was funny is that at the end of the phone call they had said that some socks would come and get him. Socks! He must have been sleepy.

Toaster grabbed his baggage and walked out the door when he realized that he didn't write down the address to Blue Bear Land! How could I have missed that? he thought.

Toaster was about to walk back to town and find the poster when suddenly there was a flash of white and something crashed down in front of him. Two enormous socks!

"What?"

"Hello!" the sock on the left said. "We've come to pick you up!"

"Huh?" Toaster said, confused.

"To Blue Bear Land, remember? Put your baggage on me and climb on top of my brother! Don't worry," the sock said kindly, "it'll be fine!"

"Alright!" Toaster chuckled. "I thought they were just kidding when they said they would pick me up by sock."

Toaster climbed up on top of the right sock. They both lifted up into the air and started flying at an enormous speed. Miraculously, Toaster's baggage did not fall off.

They arrived on an enormous bed and set Toaster and his luggage down. Then they started flying away.

"Thank you!" Toaster called.

"Sure!" the socks said.

Toaster got out and looked around. This would be a nice place to set up his farm! And because he didn't need any money anymore, he could probably open a free restaurant! That would be nice!

A bear came up to him. "Hi, I'm Blue Bear, the mayor of Blue Bear Land! Welcome!"

Toaster smiled. "Thank you! This seems to be a nice and welcoming place already!"

Blue Bear took him through the town and showed him all of the other animals that lived there.

Toaster said, "Thank you so much! I came here to get away from the burglar that steals my food. But now I will have tons more food because there is no thief! I have a surprise for all of you!"

Toaster went to a little corner on the bed and began to set up his little restaurant. He put out a poster that said "Come eat at Toaster's restaurant! Everything is grown from the ground."

He had a little stall that acted as his kitchen and he put down a few chairs outside. Soon his first customer came -- Blue Bear!

"I heard you are setting up a new restaurant! Can I have something?"

"Sure!" Toaster said. "Here are the menus!"

Toaster gave Blue Bear a piece of toast. On it was the menu text. "It's edible, too!"

Blue Bear looked at the menu and took a bite. "Yum!"

Blue Bear said, "I'll have your signature breakfast, please!"

Toaster quickly prepared Blue Bear a wonderful breakfast.

"This is the best food I have ever tasted!" Blue Bear exclaimed.

Soon almost everyone in Blue Bear Land was eating at Toaster's restaurant. Once a cow asked "Why is it all grown from the ground?"

To which Toaster replied, "Because if you eat meat, you would be eating yourself!"

Everyone was shocked at this and threw out their meat! "I never knew!" the cow's wife said.

Toaster sighed in contentedness. Everything was going fine.

Toaster looked in the cabinet of his stall and found that he didn't have any food left. He went outside to his farm to get some...and found that all the crops were gone! It was horrible! Not only that, but the entire farm was ruined.

Toaster started to cry.

Blue Bear quickly looked up. "What's wrong, Toaster?"

"It--it's fine..." Toaster sniffled, looking away.

"You can tell me," Blue Bear assured him.

"ALLLLL MY CROPS ARE GONE BECAUSE OF THAT ANNOYING THIEF!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Toaster screamed in agony for five minutes.

Blue Bear could see that Toaster was deeply distressed. He didn't know what to do.

Suddenly Shiny spoke up. "Wait, I have an idea! What if everyone was required to give a daily donation of food to Toaster so we can all have a free breakfast?"

Everyone agreed that it was a great idea.

"Okay!" Blue Bear said. "Now everyone bring some food here so that we can finish our breakfast!"

Everyone began cheering. Toaster was so happy that he started crying again (but the tears were joyful). Everyone said things like "I have some potatoes!" and "Will you accept this frozen pizza?" and donated to Toaster until his stocks are full again.

"Thank you so much, everyone. Especially you, Blue Bear and Shiny. Now, who wants something to eat?"
