Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to cook. One day, she decided to make cookies with her mom. She gathered all the ingredients and started to mix them together. But she accidentally added too much flour and the dough started to get too stiff.
"Oh no!" she said. "Now it's ruined!"
Her mom smiled and showed her how to add a little bit of water to the dough and stir it until it was just right.
Next, they bent down to preheat the oven and wash their hands. Then they scooped spoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet and placed them in the oven.
While the cookies were cooking, Lily learned that sometimes when things don't turn out as planned, you just have to be creative and find a solution. And when the timer went off, they opened the oven to see perfectly baked cookies!
Lily was so proud of herself and couldn't wait to share her creations with her friends. From then on, she never let a little mistake like losing the recipe or mixing too much of an ingredient stop her from cooking up something delicious.
