Once upon a time, there was a tiny colony of ants who lived in a forest. One day, the queen ant asked her workers to find a special recipe for a cake to celebrate the colony's birthday. The workers found a recipe that called for sugar, but they made a mistake and used way too much of it. When they baked the cake, it was so sweet that it impressed even the birds in the sky! The ants had a great time celebrating and didn't even mind the sugar rush they got from the cake. From then on, they always remembered to follow recipes carefully, or they might end up with another sweet surprise!

5. Why do you think it is important to follow recipes carefully?
