One day, a girl named Lucy went to play outside with her spade. She wanted to dig in the dirt and make a big hole. Lucy loved to play with her spade, and she liked to pretend she was a cook making a big cake in the dirt.
As Lucy was digging, she found a big, shiny rock. She thought it was a magic rock that could help her cook. She ran to her mom and showed her the rock. Lucy's mom said, "Be careful, Lucy. That rock might be hot and hurt you."
Lucy didn't listen to her mom. She took the rock and put it in a pot on the stove. She turned on the heat and waited for the rock to cook. Suddenly, the rock started to change color and got very hot. Lucy was scared and didn't know what to do.
Just then, Lucy's mom came in and saw the hot rock. She quickly turned off the stove and took the rock out with a big glove. She told Lucy, "I told you it might hurt you. We need to be careful with things we find outside." Lucy learned her lesson and promised to listen to her mom next time. And from that day on, Lucy only cooked with her spade and dirt, making the best dirt cakes ever.
