While Bennett was cooking soup, the cooking fire suddenly went out. So, he went to his friend Andrew the Cat for help. He asked Andrew if he would help Bennett make some fire. Andrew knew what to do and went into the Forest. He found some twigs and he rubbed them together really fast. Suddenly, a tiny fire started to come from within the sticks. But it wasn’t enough to make a strong cooking fire. Then, Bennett remembered he was the King of Flames. That meant that he could breath hot fire from his mouth. How could he forget? He breathed fire red hot flames from his mouth and turned Andrew’s sticks into a big hot fire to cook with. The friends decided to camp here and make a yummy meal.

Bennett invited his other friends, Sugary the Butterfly, Luna the Fairy, and Taylor the Chocolate Rabbit to eat with her and Andrew. They were in a rush, so they ordered dinner on their phones. But, it was time to cook dessert. So, Bennett and his friends decided to make a new dish.
They decided to use some ingredients from the Forest. First, they made chocolate by picking chocolate seeds from trees, crushing them and mixing them with sugar and milk. Bennett’s friends also brought a lot of graham crackers. Suddenly, they found bushes that had a lot of marshmallow flowers. They were in luck because they had no marshmallows. They picked the marshmallows from the flower bushes. They put the chocolate on top of the graham crackers, put marshmallows on top of the chocolate, and then they put a graham cracker right on top like a sandwich.
They were nervous that this new dish would be messy. So, Bennett decided to light a fire and hold the sandwiches over the fire until the marshmallows melted, one by one. It was so sweet and gooey. All the friends loved the taste so much. It was delicious. They enjoyed it so much they decided to share it with everyone in the Animaland Forest. They called it Some Mores, because everyone in the forest kept asking if they could eat some more.

One day, Bennett and his friends decide that they going to invent a new dish. It had to be yummy and cheesy. Bennett thought they needed to first make dough. He rolled up a big ball of flour and water. Two new friends suddenly came, Colin the Crocodile and Colton the Hippo. They were best friends. Once Colin and Colton saw the ball- shaped piece of dough that Bennett made, they decided to be silly and play frisbee with the ball of dough. Colin grabbed the dough ball and threw it to Colton. The two friends threw the dough back and forth a few times. After a while, Bennett had enough. He asked to have the dough back. He was annoyed at first, but then realized that Colin and Colton had helped him out because the dough was now flat like a circle and perfect to put cheese on. Bennett put on tomato sauce and sprinkled lots of cheese. He then breathed hot fire onto the pizza and baked it until it was crunchy and melted. This would be pizza for the friends. Everyone thought it was so yummy. What a great meal.
