Once upon a time, in a tiny town by the tickling tides, there lived a plucky prawn named Tom. He loved to tumble and twirl in the tangy and tantalizing tom yum soup. Every day, he'd tickle his tummy with the terrific taste of the tom yum treat!
But one sunny and splendid Sunday, a tricky teal turtle named Terry snatched Tom from his tangy tub! Tom tumbled and tumbled in Terry's tummy, feeling terribly troubled. The townspeople trembled with tears, missing their jolly friend.
Then, from the tippity-top of the towering tide, a terrific thunderstorm brewed and burst! The tides twisted and turned, and Tom tumbled right out of Terry's tummy, tumbling back to the town. The townspeople leapt with joy, welcoming Tom home with a tasty tom yum feast.
From that day on, Tom the plucky prawn never tumbled far from the tasty tom yum. He shared the soup with the townspeople, telling tales of his thrilling tumble and teaching them to treasure every tasty tom yum spoonful.
