Once upon a time, there was a young cook named Lily who loved to make delicious meals. One day, she decided to cook something special for her friends. She gathered all the ingredients she needed: apples, coffee, ice cream, potatoes, bananas, jam and rice.
She started by making a sweet apple pie and a rich coffee to go with it. Then she boiled some potatoes and added them to a salad.
Next, she made a banana split sundae with scoops of ice cream and drizzles of jam. Lastly, she cooked aromatic rice to serve with dinner.
Her friends were so impressed with the delicious meal that they asked for the recipe. Lily smiled and said, "The secret ingredient is love."
And that's how Lily became known as the best cook in town. The end.
