Once upon a time, in a small town nestled between rolling hills, a baby girl was born. Her name was Rubi. The moment she opened her brown eyes and flashed a gummy smile, her parents knew she was special. Even as a baby, Rubi had a knack for making folks laugh, her giggles infectious and her antics amusing.

As Rubi grew older, her love for comedy only intensified. She would spend hours watching comedy shows on TV, mimicking the comedians' expressions and gestures. She loved making her parents and friends laugh. However, Rubi had a stammer. She stuttered each time she got excited or nervous, which happened a lot during her performances.

One day, a new student named Ben joined Rubi's school. Ben was tall for his age, with jet-black hair and green eyes. He was introverted and kept to himself. But Ben had a secret talent - he was excellent at creating hilarious puppet shows. Rubi and Ben soon became fast friends.

Rubi shared her dream of becoming a famous comedian with Ben. Instead of laughing at her, Ben believed in her. Together, they decided to create a comedy act using Ben's puppets, with Rubi as the voice. They practiced tirelessly, perfecting every joke and every punch line. However, Rubi's stammer often interrupted their flow.

Ben, being the genius he was, came up with a brilliant idea. He suggested that Rubi should incorporate her stammer into her act. 'Make it a part of your performance,' he said. Rubi was hesitant at first but decided to give it a try. To her surprise, it worked wonders!

Rubi and Ben's puppet show became a hit in their school. They were invited to perform at local events and soon, their fame spread throughout the town. One day, a famous talent scout, Mr. Goldstein, came to their town looking for new talent. He was middle-aged, with silver hair and sharp blue eyes, and had a reputation for discovering stars.

Mr. Goldstein loved Rubi and Ben's act. He admired Rubi’s courage to embrace her stammer and turn it into her strength. He offered them a chance to perform at a grand event in the city. The news left Rubi and Ben ecstatic. However, the thought of performing in front of such a large audience made Rubi nervous.

The day of the performance arrived. Rubi was nervous, her stammer more pronounced than ever. However, as she saw Ben handling his puppets, her fear diminished. She embraced her stammer and delivered an unforgettable performance, leaving the audience in fits of laughter. They received a standing ovation.

Rubi's journey from a small-town girl to a world-renowned comedian was not easy. But with her determination, courage, and a little help from her friend Ben, she overcame her challenges. Rubi's story teaches us to embrace our flaws and turn them into our strengths. After all, laughter is the best medicine, and Rubi was a master at spreading it.
