"The king is really hungry," Cook said.
She quickly cooked more food.
Tom sprinkled more powder on it.
The king and his guests ate the food.
"More!" they cried. "More food!"
"I am almost out of food," Cook said.
"I am almost out of powder," Tom said.
Dirk said, "Bring more food!
Or you will go to the Grim Dungeon!"
Cook and Tom looked in every cupboard.
They found stale bread and moldy cheese.
Tom sprinkled powder on it.
The guests ate it.
"The guests must be full now," Cook said.
"I hope they don't get sick," Tom said.
Dirk ran into the kitchen.
"The king wants more food now!" he said.
Cook started to cry.
She clutched her apron.
"The food is all gone!" she said.
"I will help," Tom said.
Tom waved his wand wildly.
"Food!" he cried.
Poof! A dead mouse appeared on the table.
"Ick!" Cook said. "That's not food!"
Cat saw the mouse.
"That's my food," she said.
"I was hunting in the pantry."
"Sorry, Cat," Tom said.
"My magic powder made the food taste too good.
Everyone wants to keep eating!"
"Hmm . . ." Cat licked her paws.
"I might be able to help," she said.
