The Best Cake
Boss Mouse said, “Today is Mom’s birthday, let’s buy her a cake to make her happy.”
“Okay, okay!” Mouse Two and Mouse Three agreed in unison.
Boss, Two, and Three mice managed to scrape together a small handful of coins.
Arriving at the store, Boss Mouse said, “We want to buy the best cake.”
The shopkeeper counted the coins and said, “It’s not enough, but I can sell you a large pancake.” The kind shopkeeper gave them a pretty good-sized pancake.
Boss, Two, and Three mice returned home dejectedly.
Mouse Three sighed and said, “Sigh…”
Mouse Two also sighed and said, “Sigh…”
Boss Mouse slapped his head and said, “Let’s figure out how to turn the pancake into a cake!”
“How do we do that? How?” Mouse Two and Mouse Three widened their eyes.
Boss Mouse took out his favorite candy that he had been reluctant to eat, melted it and poured it over the pancake. Oh, how nice, it smelled sweet and creamy.
Mouse Two thought for a moment, brought out a large piece of sausage, and gently placed it on the pancake, saying sheepishly, “Hehe, I only took a tiny bite…”
“Mom won’t notice!” Boss Mouse said confidently.
Mouse Three gathered a bunch of colorful wildflowers and placed them on the pancake, one by one.
Oh dear, it hardly looked like a pancake anymore! The three little mice were very satisfied, the more they looked, the happier they felt.
Gently pushing open Mom’s door, the three little mice sang together, “Happy birthday to you…”
“Wow, where did this cake come from?” Mom said in amazement.
“We made it!” Boss Mouse said.
“Try it! Try it!” Mouse Two and Mouse Three chimed in.
Mom took a gentle bite, and she immediately understood, “Oh, wonderful! This is the best cake I’ve ever had!” Mom smiled happily.
“Really?” The three little mice also smiled happily.
