—STORY—
Little Jane has a high ambition to follow in the footsteps of her talented baker mother. She enjoys spending time in the kitchen, experimenting with new recipes and ingredients. However, she has a bad habit of wasting materials and using excessive amounts of ingredients, which frequently produces unfavorable outcomes.
Jane chooses to participate in a nearby baking competition one day. To make the biggest and tastiest cake the judges have seen so far, she is determined. Her mother walks into the kitchen as she is getting ready to begin baking.
Looking at the stack of flour, sugar, and butter on the counter, Jane's mother asks, "Jane, are you sure you need any of these ingredients?"
"Yes, Mom," responds Jane with assurance. "If I want to win the competition, I have to bake a huge cake."
Her mother comments, "But what about all the remaining ingredients." We can't afford to waste our resources, Jane, so we need to use them wisely."
Jane dismisses her mother's worries and begins combining the ingredients. She keeps adding more and more butter, sugar, and flour until the batter outgrows the basin. As the batter fills the entire kitchen, she moves it to a bigger basin and continues.
Her mother is horrified as she watches Jane keep adding ingredients.
Her mother screams, "Jane, stop!" "You need to use our resources more sparingly because you're using them excessively."
It's too late, though, because the mixture is too large and unstable. The mixture explodes as Jane goes for the oven, unleashing a giant cake tsunami that engulfs the entire village.
The people were surprised by a startling sight as they left their homes. The air was thick with the wonderful aroma of vanilla and sugar, and the streets were covered in a thick layer of cake. They were in disbelief and confused about what had taken place because of their eyes and ears.
Villager 1 was extremely perplexed by the situation in front of them and said, "What in the world happened here?" It appears to be a cake explosion.
Villager 2 shook his head incredulously and said, "You're telling me," "In my life, I've never seen so much cake."
The villagers were in shock and despair as they tried to put together what had happened.
Villager 3 said, his voice full of worry, "This is terrible; all this waste could have been avoided if people were more prudent with their resources."
Villager 4 concurred, saying "Yeah, we need to start thinking about how our actions impact the environment."
The formerly tidy homes and gardens were covered in icing and sprinkles, and the village square was obscured by a pile of cake crumbs. The villagers understood that they needed to work together to clean up the mess but also that they needed to take something positive away from this experience.
