One day. Henry and John heinz his brother were down Mr. Peterson's house looking for tomatoes. They planned to steal them. They took a box and started loading up on Mr. Peterson's tomatoes.

As they were running away from the scene, mr. Peterson came outside and seen them both red handed. He started chasing them. As they were running, Bill dropped a tomato. Henry saw turned back and yelled to him "Get the tomato and catch up!!!" John ran back, went to grab the tomato and accidently stepped on it. But picked up the remains.

They got away safely and figured they didn't want to let the remains to go to waste. They ate it and it was actually good! They decided they'd name it based on the incident. So ketchup was born!

The End.
