Once there was a cabbage who loved to drink milk and eat carrots. One day, the cabbage saw a delicious-looking cake in a bakery and asked the baker for a slice. The baker told the cabbage that the cake was for a special occasion, but the cabbage begged and pleaded until the baker finally gave in.

The next day, the cabbage invited all of its food friends over for a big feast. There was sausage, pasta, juice, and sweets for everyone to enjoy. The cabbage was so happy and grateful for all of its friends, but it suddenly realized that it had forgotten to bring its own slice of cake!

In a panic, the cabbage ran back to the bakery, but when it got there, it found that the bakery was closed. Undeterred, the cabbage decided to make its own cake using the ingredients it had on hand (milk, carrots, etc.).

To everyone's surprise, the cabbage's cake turned out to be the best cake they had ever tasted! From that day on, the cabbage became known as the greatest baker in all the land. And every time its friends came over for a feast, they always made sure to bring a slice of the cabbage's famous cake.
