Zain and Tarek Get Their Town to Eat Chocolate Again (Short Story)

 (short story written for my nephews)

Last night I heard a disturbing sound
To be more clear: from *your* house, very very late last night (while you guys were sleeping...or were *supposed* to be sleeping, maybe you were secretly awake and heard it too??), I heard a disturbing sound
What I heard was the jingle jangle...of a story coming into my head:
There were two young men (well...two kids?...anyway!) named Zain and Tarek
Zain and Tarek wanted to eat some chocolate
So they went to the chocolate person and said can we have some chocolate please
But the chocolate person said I don't have any chocolate anymore
All the people eat vanilla now, they stopped eating chocolate
I'm not going to keep chocolate only for you!
So Zain and Tarek knew they had to get everyone to change from eating vanilla to eating chocolate
So Zain and Tarek went to the highest place where everyone in town could see and hear them
Zain and Tarek told everyone: people stop eating vanilla and get back to eating chocolate please!
But everyone told them nooooo
We like vanilla!
It's almost the year 2028
And we won't eat any more cho co late!
Zain and Tarek knew they had to quickly try something else
Otherwise they wouldn't be able to get chocolate any more!
So Zain and Tarek asked the people: Ok, but do you like to eat biryani?
And everyone said: yes!
We love to eat biryani!
Then Zain and Tarek said OK then why don't you eat lots and lots of biryani!
Because they knew that after eating biryani
People would want chocolate for something sweet to refresh their mouth
Vanilla doesn't go well with biryani, it's too plain
So everyone started to eat chocolate again
after eating lots and lots of biryani
Then not only the chocolate person but even the biryani person started carrying chocolate
For Zain and Tarek so that they could get chocolate *whenever* they wanted
