Once there was a chef named Benny who loved to cook new dishes. One day, he found a recipe that called for a special ingredient, "protein". He searched everywhere but couldn’t find it in his kitchen.

He went to the market and asked the vendors if they had any, but they said they never heard of it. Benny was rather confused and uncomfortable.

Then, he remembered his grandmother who always told him to look at the source of things. So, he went back to the recipe and saw that the source of protein was actually "peanut".

Benny realized that he had to remove the "e" to get the real ingredient. He laughed at himself for making such a silly mistake.

He went back to the kitchen and made the dish with peanuts. It turned out to be delicious and everyone loved it! From then on, Benny always double checked the source of his ingredients before cooking.
