In a tiny town named Sugarville, there was a special bakery with yummy treats. The best treat was a sparkly doughnut named Mr. Sprinkles. He was a very shiny doughnut because he had magic dust on him.

One day, a strong wind blew Mr. Sprinkles away from the bakery. He rolled and jumped through the town, leaving sparkles everywhere. All the people in Sugarville started looking for the sparkly doughnut.

A little girl named Lily saw Mr. Sprinkles. She ran after him until he stopped by a sad old man’s house. The old man, Mr. Whiskers, ate the doughnut and his yard turned into a magical forest with many colors. He was very surprised and happy.

Lily told Mr. Whiskers they should share the special doughnut with everyone. They had a big party and everyone in town ate a piece of Mr. Sprinkles. They all laughed and felt joy. After that, the people in Sugarville loved sharing and being happy together.
