Once upon a time, there was a chef who loved to make soup. He had all the ingredients he needed: salt, fish, milk, pepper, vegetables, juice, and chicken. But one day, as he was making his soup, he realized that he had forgotten to buy any spices!

He thought and thought, trying to think of a way to make his soup taste good without any spices. Suddenly, he had an idea. He took a sip of his juice and added it to the soup. Then he took a pinch of salt and sprinkled it on the chicken. And finally, he took a dash of pepper and sprinkled it on the vegetables.

The chef tasted the soup, and to his surprise, it was delicious! From that day on, he always added a little bit of juice, salt, and pepper to his soups, and they were always a hit with the kids.

The end.
