A girl wanted to make a birthday cake for her Dad. Her Mum
wanted to support her, but wasn’t feeling very generous towards the Dad as there
was lots of financial anxiety abounding. She showed her daughter a recipe that
the mum knew would make a cake but not a very large one. The girl made the cake
only she was a bit distracted and used the wrong flour and it came out like a
biscuit. She asked to make another and so the mum went out to get new
ingredients and a second cake was made using the same recipe but again turned
out like a biscuit. A third time the mum went out to buy ingredients and on her
return showed her daughter a better recipe requiring double the ingredients.
The cake it produced exceeded all expectations and everyone was happy. The girl
had it reaffirmed that her mum would do her best to help her realise her
dreams. And the mum had learned that generosity always pays, that fear and meanness
cost more in the long run.
