One day, a little girl named Lily wanted to bake a cake. She saw her mom bake many times, so she thought she could do it too. Lily went into the kitchen and found a big bowl to mix her cake. But, she didn't know what to put in the bowl. She looked around and saw some soil from a plant. Lily thought, "Maybe I can use that!"
Lily put the soil in the bowl and mixed it with water. It looked like the cake mix her mom used. She was so happy! Lily asked her mom, "Can I put this in the oven to bake?"
Her mom looked at the bowl and said, "Oh no, Lily, that's not cake mix. That's spoiled soil! It won't make a good cake." Lily felt sad, but her mom smiled and said, "Let's bake a real cake together."
Lily and her mom baked a yummy cake with the right ingredients. They had so much fun! From that day on, Lily learned that soil was not for baking, and she always asked her mom for help when she wanted to bake a cake.
