[A dragonfly types novels on a pancake made of air. The sun eats spaghetti while juggling upside-down tigers. Whales play hopscotch with invisible planets in the fridge. A trumpet becomes a sandwich, and the sandwich starts to bark. Cows do backflips over an ocean made of toothpaste. A clock melts into a jellybean, then explodes into rabbits. The wind turns into a sock and argues with the moon’s eyebrow. Lemons become presidents of the invisible horse parade. A volcano hiccups marshmallows, and time turns into a spoon. The stars laugh in lowercase while riding bicycles made of soup.]
