The bright morning sun shone down on the Cookie Kingdom, casting long shadows near the Fountain of Abundance. Honeybear Cookie was sitting on a low stone wall, happily patting his round belly. He raised his shiny honeydipper, ready for a mid-morning snack.

But the dipper came out dry. Not a single drop of his sticky golden goodness remained.

Honeybear Cookie’s eyes widened in shock. The calm, lazy air around him evaporated, replaced by a focused panic.

"Wha—? Where did my sweet-sweet honey go?" Honeybear Cookie murmured in anticipatory distress. He usually kept a backup jar tucked safely behind the fountain's base. He waddled over, peering behind the flowing water.
