Wally’s Magical Closet: The Basic Food Groups

“Come play inside me.”

The words emanate from the closet door under the basement, and when Wally goes inside, he starts to daydream about a land where the trees are made of cotton candy and the clouds are made of popcorn.

All of a sudden, the closet begins to shake and seems to lift off the ground, and when Wally opens the door, he steps out into a world made of candy and sweets.

“Welcome to Ecandy. My name is Eatalot,” says a friendly green monster. “As you can see, “our trees are made of cotton candy, the sun is a big lemon drop, and our roads are made of bubblegum.”

It sounds too good to be true until Eatalot tells Wally that his people are suffering from poor health: Their teeth are rotting, their tummies are hurting, and they don’t have enough strength to run and play.

Fortunately, Wally remembers learning about the basic food groups, and he returns home to review his notes and get some healthy food.
