One day, Mr. Fun D. Mental decided to try to invent a new chocolate item for Mr. Candy's students! He tried everything he could think of in order to come up with a good idea. But nothing seemed to work. He was getting very depressed, when suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder. He was startled because he didn't even hear anyone come in! He spun around on his favorite chair to find Mr. Candy right before his very eyes.

"Go do something else for a while and an idea will come to you like magic!," Mr. Candy whispered in Mr. Fun. D. Mental's ear. After this, Mr. Candy disappeared.

Mr. Fun D. Mental tried jumping rope, planting flowers, and watching soap operas with his wife, Suzie, but nothing came to him.

The next day, Mr. Candy showed up again. "Here is a magic chocolate wand. Tap it on your head lightly every once in a while and ideas will come pouring into your head," he explained.

Mr. Fun D. Mental tried this and it worked! He came up with an idea for a chocolate treat that couldn't be beat, chocolate pizza!!! Everyone celebrated and all the students simply loved their new chocolate treat!
