generate_fable("how cheese was invented")
Once upon a time, there was a man named Charles Augustus, but he had no cheese and was a pretty fat boy with a beautiful face, who in his day used to live an easy life. He made cheese, which came with the name of cheese (the name of which is French for "smelly"). But his cheese was so good which became his cheese. One day, as he was taking a coffee, the cup of coffee was so full of cheese that it would become a fine cheese. But when he finished, he decided his cheese must contain that cheese! So as he sat down to eat, he took a cup of milk from the side of the cup, and said to the milkmaid (she went into the dairy herd): "Why is cheese so great? In the end, I think the cows did just take up the cheese and cheese made the cheese." The end.
