Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to bake. One day, she became very busy because she had to make a cake for her friend's birthday party. She went to the kitchen and started to gather all the ingredients she needed. She said, "I need flour, sugar, eggs, and milk." She then got to work mixing and grinding the ingredients in the correct proportions.

Lily soon realized that she had run out of flour, so she decided to plant some wheat and grind it into flour herself. She worked hard in the garden, planting the seeds and taking care of the plants. When the wheat was ready to harvest, she picked it and ground it into flour.

Lily was very proud of her hard work and she used the fresh flour to bake the cake. It turned out to be the tastiest cake she had ever made, and her friend was overjoyed with it. She said, "This cake is so delicious! How did you make it?" Lily smiled and replied, "I baked it with love and my own flour!"

From that day on, Lily always remembered to appreciate the hard work that goes into making the things she loves. And every time she baked a cake, she thought of the wheat she had planted, harvested and ground into flour, and felt proud of what she could accomplish when she put her mind to it.
