One day, the bakery’s owner, Mr. Baker, found a surprise package. Inside was a note telling him to sprinkle magic sugar on his donuts to make them come to life. Thinking it was a joke, he still tried it on some donuts.

Right after he sprinkled the sugar, the donuts started moving! They grew tiny arms and legs and began dancing all over the place. The people who were about to eat them were shocked and amazed. The dancing donuts did all sorts of fun moves like pirouettes and somersaults.
