Let's do this! Thank you so much for tuning into today's story. Don't forget to rate and follow, so you never miss out on all the Ryer's Readers' fun. Before we get into the story, do you want to know a fun fact? Did you know that a monocle is a special type of eyeglasses, but instead of having two lenses like regular glasses, a monocle just has one round lens that you hold up to your eye. It's like a tiny circle that helps you see better. The monocle became popular in the 19th century during the Victorian era between around 1837 to 1901. People used monocles to help them see clearly before modern glasses were invented. Monocles were like a cool accessory that gentlemen and scholars would wear. They would simply hold the monocle up to one eye

when they needed to read or see things more clearly. Pretty. Cool, huh? Okay. Story time. Today, we are going to read Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast. Mission Defrostable by Josh Funk. Deep in the gloomiest nook of the fridge, past Veggie Valley and Rosemary Ridge, meeting in secret behind Pickle Post,

sat Lady Pancake beside Sir French Toast. Surely you've noticed the chill in the air, said pancake. I'm freezing. There's frost in my hair. Toast grumbled. What do we do? We're in danger. Then out of the shadowy gap swooped a stranger. Agent Asparagus flashed an ID. You're the two heroes that I've come to see. Someone's devised a despicable scheme. I need your help on my super spy team.

Pancake chewed over this new proposition. Toast said, We'll do it. We'll join in your mission. Where are we going? asked Toast from the rear. Up to the freezer, of course, said the spear. Sneaking past peas in a snowy paradise, they sidestepped a pineapple dripping with ice.

Follow me closely, the agent went on, but something grabbed hold of her. Then she was gone. Oh, shouted Pancake, but Toast held her back. Something is up there, and it could attack. We'll rescue the agent, I promise we will, but we need assistance to stop this big chill. Pancake considered this. I have a plan. It's risky to ask him, but there is.

One man. Baron Vaughan Waffle, spat toast with a scowl. What do you want? Waffle groaned with a growl. Pancake said, help us, or all life could end. Help you, wind Waffle, but I am not your friend. Pancake explained what they needed to do. You know the freezer. We're lost without you. Waffle first laughed, made them beg, made them play.

plead, but finally Baron Von Waffle agreed. Across the unknown, the pair followed their guide, hoping that they'd have some luck on their side. At last, they arrived in the heart of the freezer, only to hear someone shout the words, seize her! And seize the toast, too, screamed a frozen fruit bar. They tried to escape, but they didn't get far.

Waffle, however, ran back while they. fought. Toast whispered, I'll bet he knew we'd get caught. Captured and shackled in curly-fry chains, the duo was led through the gate of plantains. Where are you taking us? Pancake demanded. Their captor responded, we've caught you bread-handed. The empress despises all those who intrude, and she's got a plot to destroy the fridge food. Perched on the throne in the icicle palace, there sat the culprit, the agent of malice. Asparagus? Pancake said, what are you doing? Fools, I'm the mastermind you've been pursuing. Ages ago, during mid-morning brunch, a bean avalanche cut me off from my bunch. Alone and abandoned,

and I wandered in fear. I searched for a home, and I ended up here. And now with the two of you out of the fold, I've got my revenge and I'm serving it cold. You won't get away with this, pancake replied. Who's going to stop me? Asparagus cried. Perhaps she was right. Toast and pancake redumed,

but out of the shadows, a moniker. Zooned. Baron von Waffle bewildered her crew and freed toast and pancake, surprising the two. Stop the intruder! Asparagus screamed, but everyone failed, and the empress, she steamed. Waffle, said Pancake, you saved us, but why? Waffle responded, I'm not a bad guy. Sometimes I envy the friendship you share, but how can I leave you to freeze in despair? It seems I've misjudged you, said Toast. I confess. Pancake asked, friends? Waffle waffled. I guess. The empress had heard the whole sweet conversation. A tear trickled down, or perhaps condensation.

Asparagus said, please forgive my deceit. I promise to unfreeze the fridge and retreat. The trio considered and stepped forth united. You're welcome to come with us, Waffle invited. Slowly but surely the whole fridge defrosted. Pancake and toast were completely exhausted. The villains, now heroes. The evil defeated.

The fridge was now safe, and the mission completed. The end. Don't forget to stick around to see if you can answer today's paying attention question. For you go, do you think you can answer today's paying attention question? Who did Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast ask to help them on their mission to defrost the fridge? If your answer was, Baron von Waffle, you did it! Great job! You sure were paying attention! I hope you enjoyed that story! I wonder what we're going to read next.
