There was a boy named Tommy who loved chocolates a lot. People in his village found a special place with chocolate falling from trees like water. Tommy wanted to see it and taste it, so he took candy bars and walked to the forest.
Tommy followed the sound of water and found a big, beautiful chocolate fall. It looked amazing, and he jumped in to eat. The chocolate was different, with colors and bubbles. When Tommy drank it, he could fly! He was so happy, flying and laughing.
But then a squirrel ate the chocolate and turned into a big, chocolate monster. Tommy was scared. The big squirrel could hurt his village. Tommy needed to fix this. He got some honey from a tree. The big chocolate squirrel loved the honey and shrank back to a small squirrel again.
Tommy showed the squirrel where to live in the forest. The squirrel hugged him, and Tommy felt proud for being brave. He learned to use chocolate in good ways. When Tommy went home, he wanted to make everyone happy with chocolate. Tommy became very kind and shared chocolate joy with his friends.
