Everyone loves bacon, and that includes Bacon himself, along with his friends Egg and Waffle. Bacon is so tasty! You can put it on waffles, pancakes, and eggs. It’s even yummy with cheese!
Bacon loved being popular. Everywhere he went, people paid lots of attention to him. He told funny stories and jokes. Some people even put bacon on their cereal and doughnuts!
While Bacon was enjoying all the attention, the other breakfast meats felt a bit left out. But Bacon didn’t mind. He was becoming a big star, with his picture on t-shirts and billboards.
Bacon was having so much fun being famous that he forgot about his friends back home. He thought, “Who needs friends when you have fans?”
Bacon started driving fancy cars, wearing fancy hats, and even grew a fancy mustache. He was the talk of the town until he realized something surprising: you can eat bacon!
Everyone loves bacon, and now we know you can eat it too!
