Once upon a time in Pepperoni Town, Pizza Man was causing chaos. He had stolen all the tomatoes for his sauce! The townspeople were in a panic.

The Mayor called for an emergency meeting. 'We need to figure out how many tomatoes Pizza Man took,' the Mayor said. 'If we had 20 tomatoes and Pizza Man took 7, how many are left?'

The townspeople worked together to solve the problem. It was tricky, but they finally got the answer. '13 tomatoes are left!' they cheered. Now, they needed a plan to catch Pizza Man.

Suddenly, a clue appeared. It seemed Pizza Man was hiding in the old Tomato Factory! The townspeople hurried to the factory, ready to confront Pizza Man and get their tomatoes back.

As they approached the factory, there was a puzzle to solve - a riddle on the door. 'I am taken from a mine and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost every person. What am I?'

The townspeople put on their thinking caps. After some time, a young girl named Lily shouted, 'It's a pencil!' The door creaked open, and the townspeople rushed inside.

Pizza Man was caught red-handed with all the tomatoes. 'Why did you take our tomatoes?' the townspeople asked. 'Because I wanted to make the best sauce!' Pizza Man replied sadly.

The townspeople forgave Pizza Man but made a deal. They would share the tomatoes, and Pizza Man had to teach them how to make his famous pizza sauce. It was a delicious compromise, and Pizza Man learned his lesson.
