Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Mia. She loved to eat all kinds of delicious foods, but her favorite was cake. She would always ask her mom to make her a cake for her birthday and other special occasions.
One day, her mom told her that she needed to eat more vegetables if she wanted to grow up to be strong and healthy. Mia was not very excited about this idea, but she decided to give it a try.
She started eating vegetables like carrots and cabbage, and even tried adding them to her pasta and sausages. To her surprise, she found that she actually liked the way they tasted!
Mia also drank a lot of milk and juice to help her grow big and strong. And even though she still loved her cake, she made sure to only have a small piece as a treat.
From then on, Mia always made sure to eat a balanced diet and grew up to be a happy and healthy young lady.
