Dave the Measuring Dragon and the Perfect Circle Cake

Once upon a time, there was a friendly dragon named Dave who loved to measure things. He knew all about meters and centimeters, kilograms and grams, inches and feet, and pounds and ounces.

One day, Dave wanted to draw a circle. So, he used his measuring tape to find out how long around the circle was. To his surprise, it was exactly one meter! He was so happy that he decided to celebrate by baking a cake.

He measured out all of the ingredients using his trusty measuring cups. He used half a kilogram of flour, 100 grams of sugar, and a pinch of salt. He also measured out the milk using centimeters and the eggs using inches.

Finally, it was time to bake the cake. He put it in the oven, set the timer for 30 minutes, and went for a walk. When he came back, the cake was ready! It was a delicious and moist chocolate cake, and it was exactly one foot tall.

Dave was so proud of his baking skills that he decided to share the cake with his friends. They all weighed the cake using their scales and found out that it weighed exactly 2 pounds. They all cheered and enjoyed the yummy cake together.

From then on, Dave always remembered to use the right units of measurement when baking, just like he did with the circle. The end.
