A New Pal in Wonkyville

In the town of Wonkyville, where every house was tilted and the trees had polka dots, lived a curious cat named Stripes.

A whimsical, colorful town with tilted houses and polka-dot trees; a cartoonish, curious cat with striped fur and a whimsical expression.

One sunny day, Stripes played by the wonky waters of Wobble Pond. Suddenly, there was a loud SPLASH! A tiny, soaking wet creature emerged.

'Hello!' said Stripes. 'Who are you?' The little creature shook off the water and giggled. 'I'm Squiggles, the water sprite! Nice to meet you!'
