Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Mia. Mia loved to measure things. She measured her toys, her bed, and even her dog. One day, she found a map in her room.
Mia showed the map to her mom. "Mom, what is this?" she asked. Her mom looked at the map and said, "This is a treasure map, Mia! It will lead you to a special surprise!"
Mia was excited. She took her ruler and measured the map. She followed the map to a big tree in her yard. Under the tree, she found a box. Mia opened the box and saw a big cake inside. But the cake was spoiled! It was green and smelled bad.
Mia was sad. She went back to her mom and told her about the spoiled cake. Her mom smiled and said, "I put that cake there a long time ago as a surprise. I forgot about it! Let's make a new cake together."
So Mia and her mom baked a new cake. They measured the ingredients and made the best cake ever. Mia learned that sometimes, the best surprises are the ones you make yourself.
