Lila and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite ones were the magic wand and the magic hat. They pretended to be wizards and witches and made up spells and adventures.
One day, they wanted to make a cake with their magic. They took some flour, sugar, eggs, and butter from the kitchen and put them in a big bowl. Then they waved their wand and said, "Magic, magic, make a cake!"
But nothing happened. The bowl was still full of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. They tried again and again, but nothing changed.
Lila and Tom were frustrated. They wanted to eat a cake, but their magic did not work. They wondered why their magic did not work. They hoped their magic would work soon.
They decided to ask their mom for help. They went to the living room, where their mom was reading a book. They showed her the bowl and the wand and the hat.
"Mom, can you help us?" Lila asked. "We want to make a cake with our magic, but it does not work."
Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I'm sorry, my loves, but magic is not real. You can't make a cake with a wand and a hat. You need to use the oven and a recipe."
Lila and Tom were surprised. They thought magic was real. They liked to pretend with their magic toys. They felt sad and confused.
"But mom, we like magic. We have fun with magic. Can we still play with magic?" Tom asked.
Their mom nodded and kissed them. She said, "Of course you can. Magic is not real, but it is fun. You can use your imagination and creativity to make up stories and games with your magic toys. But when you want to make a cake, you need to use the oven and a recipe. And I can help you with that. How about we make a cake together?"
Lila and Tom smiled. They liked the idea of making a cake with their mom. They said, "Yes, please. We want to make a cake with you."
They followed their mom to the kitchen, where they put the bowl and the wand and the hat aside. They took out a new bowl and a recipe book. They helped their mom measure, mix, and bake the ingredients. They waited for the cake to be ready. They hoped the cake would be yummy.
They were happy. They learned that magic is not real, but it is fun. They learned that they can use their imagination and creativity to play with their magic toys. They learned that they can use the oven and a recipe to make a cake. They learned that they can have fun with their mom.
They ate the cake and enjoyed it. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. You are our magic."
