Once upon a time, there was a group of food items that lived in the kitchen together. Cabbage, sausage, egg, pepper, carrot, water, juice, pasta, cake, meat, sweets and milk all got along well, but they had different interests.

One day, cabbage and sausage decided to cook a big meal for everyone. They chopped up the carrots and peppers, fried the eggs and boiled the pasta. But when it came time to add the sauce, they realized they had run out of juice.

The only thing left in the kitchen was milk, so they used it instead. It turned out to be the best sauce ever! The other food items were so impressed that they decided to have a big party to celebrate.

Cake made a giant cake, meat prepared some juicy burgers and sweets brought a huge basket of candy. They all danced and ate until they were full. And from that day on, they all agreed that milk was the secret ingredient to any good meal. The end.
