Whiskers and the Half Pizza

In a little town, there lived a curious cat named Whiskers. One sunny day, Whiskers found a big, round pizza! But oh no! It was only half a pizza! Whiskers thought, “What fun can I have with just half?”

He decided to share it with his friends. They played games, and each friend got a slice. They laughed and enjoyed their half pizza picnic under the big, shady tree.

Whiskers learned that sharing makes everything better, even if it’s just half! So remember, friends, sharing is caring, and half can be just as fun!
