    It was a usual day in Peppa Pig's house. Mama Pig had cooked a sumptuous breakfast consisting of pancakes, bacon, and a bowl of mixed fruits.

    Peppa ate her breakfast, then she ate George's, and finally Mama Pig's too. She felt full but she was also starting to feel a little strange.

    Instead of feeling bad, Peppa started to feel hungry again. She ate the food in the fridge, the food in the pantry, and even uncooked pasta.

    Suddenly, Peppa started growing bigger. Her red dress stretched and ripped as she grew larger and larger. And she was still hungry.

    Mama Pig and George watched in shock. They didn't know what was happening to Peppa. But Peppa didn't seem to notice or care.

    Peppa started eating the furniture. She munched on the couch, the dining table, and even chewed on the TV. Nothing could satisfy her expanding appetite.

    Mama Pig and George ran outside as Peppa started eating their house. Brick by brick, slab by slab, Peppa gobbled down her once loving home.

    Peppa had grown so big that she towered over the trees. She looked around for more food and headed towards the town.

    The town was thrown into chaos. Peppa was eating everything in sight - houses, cars, lampposts, and even trees.

    Everyone ran away in fear. But Peppa was so focused on her hunger that she didn't notice them. She just kept eating and eating.

    Mama Pig and George huddled together. They felt scared and helpless. They didn't know how to stop Peppa or what was causing her to act this way.

    Suddenly, Peppa let out a loud burp that echoed across the town. A bright light enveloped her and she started to glow.

    The next moment, there was a loud bang. Peppa had spontaneously combusted, turning into a fireball.

    The fireball shot up into the sky, illuminating the night. Everyone watched in awe and terror as the fiery figure of Peppa soared above them.

    As quickly as it had happened, the fire fizzled out. The fireball shrunk, and when the smoke cleared, Peppa was back to her original size.

    Peppa fell from the sky and landed safely in a pile of leaves. She looked around in confusion, unaware of what had happened.

    Mama Pig and George ran towards Peppa. They hugged her tightly, relieved that she was safe and back to normal.

    "What happened, Mama?" asked Peppa, still dazed. Mama Pig just hugged her tighter, unable to explain the strange events that had just occurred.

    As days passed, life returned to normal. The town was rebuilt, and the terrifying incident became a distant memory.

    But Peppa was never the same again. She was more careful about what she ate and how much she ate.

    And every time she burped, everyone would hold their breath, afraid that she might spontaneously combust again.

    But thankfully, that never happened. Peppa learned the hard way that eating too much could lead to unforeseen consequences.

    Mama Pig was relieved that Peppa had learned her lesson. She was just glad that her daughter was safe and well.

    As for George, he was just glad to have his big sister back. He had missed playing with her and sharing his dinosaur toys.

    And so, even after the fiery feast, life returned to normal for Peppa and her family. But every now and then, they would remember that day and shudder.
