Once upon a time, there was a baker named Bake who lived in a cozy bakery. Bake loved to bake cakes, but every day when he was finished, he would have to rake the fallen crumbs off the floor. One day, as Bake was raking, he heard a soft voice. "Bake," it said, "I am a snake, and I want you to make me a cake." Bake was surprised but decided to make the snake a cake anyway. He baked the most delicious cake he had ever made, but when he went to give it to the snake, he realized that the snake was actually a fake! The snake had just wanted a cake for himself. Bake laughed and took the cake back to the bakery. From that day on, he never forgot to be awake and keep an eye out for any sneaky snakes trying to trick him!

Reflections

• Why did Bake make the cake for the snake?
• Was the snake really a snake or was it something else?
• Did Bake learn anything from his experience with the snake?
• What did Bake do with the cake in the end?
• What can we learn from this story about being careful of who we help?
