One time there 

was a little girl 

named Mary. She 

loved baking, 

especially making 

cake.

One time Mary and her friends were cooking at 

her farmhouse. Then the mean girls came and 

challenged Mary and her friends to a bake-off. 

Mary wanted to show the mean girls that they 

were not the best at everything, and that Mary 

and her friends could beat them. 

These were the rules: one person from each team would 

go out and get the ingredients and come back and the 

whole team would bake. Who ever finished first would 

win. Mary’s friends chose her to get the ingredients, and 

the mean girls chose a girl named Hailey. 

Both girls lined up at the starting line, and when they 

said, “go” they took off for the first ingredients. 

Mary decided to get the eggs first. She saw Hailey 

going to the cows first to get milk. Mary sprinted to 

the chicken coup. She went inside and got four eggs 

from one of the nests and put them into a basket.

By the time Mary got outside, Hailey had already 

gotten the milk and was running towards the 

strawberry plants. Mary decided to go there next, 

too. She knew Hailey might try to take all of the 

strawberries so Mary would not get any. When she 

got there, Hailey pushed her to the ground and ran 

off to the chicken coup with the strawberries.

Mary got up, and went to check her eggs. Luckily 

only one of the eggs had broken from the fall. It 

didn’t matter because she only needed three, but 

she knew Hailey would try to mess her up by 

damaging her ingredients. That’s why she had an 

extra. Mary got back up, collected the strawberries, 

and hurried off get the milk and the other final 

supplies.

On her way back, thunder started to roar. Mary 

stopped in her tracks. She is devastated by the 

thunder.

She thought about running back to the chicken 

coup to take shelter, but then she remembered 

how she could not let her friends down. Mary kept 

moving forward, and made her way back to the 

house.
