A girl told her mom everything was going wrong for her, and that she always failed her math exam so that she wouldn’t like to study at all. After hearing the daughter’s words, the nice and patient mother thought of a good way to make her daughter happy. “I will make a delicious cake for you,” said the mom. She walked into the kitchen, and the daughter followed.

When the mom prepared the cooking utensils (炊具) and ingredients, the daughter sat against the kitchen door, watching her.

Her mom asked her, “My dear, would you like a piece of cake?”

The daughter replied, “Sure, Mom! You know how I love cake!”

“Alright,” the mom said, “drink some of this cooking oil.”

The daughter was very surprised and said, “What? No way!!!”

“How about a couple of raw (生的) eggs?” asked the mom and the daughter answered, “No way!”

“How about some flour (面粉)?”

“No, Mom! I will be sick!”

The mother explained, “All of these are uncooked and taste bad, but if you put them together, they make a delicious cake. Life works the same way. When we ask ourselves why there are so many difficult times, we don’t realize what a success these terrible events will lead us to. Having a great day also means having a great CAKE! Keep the hope that one day your day is A PIECE OF CAKE!”
