One cheerful morning, monkey Xuka woke up to a wonderful smell coming from the kitchen. Dad was preparing ingredients to bake a delicious homemade cake for the family. As soon as Xuka heard the word “cake,” his eyes sparkled with excitement. He quickly ran into the kitchen and eagerly asked if he could help.
Dad smiled warmly and said, “Of course, Xuka. Today you can help prepare fresh flour for the cake.”
The little monkey clapped happily and followed Dad outside to the small storage shed where bags of wheat grains were kept. Xuka had never helped make flour before, so he was curious about every step. Dad explained carefully that fresh flour would make the cake softer and tastier.
Together, they carried a basket of wheat grains to a grinding machine near the garden. Xuka worked very hard, pouring the grains carefully while Dad operated the grinder. The machine made funny rumbling noises that made Xuka laugh loudly. Soon, soft white flour slowly poured into a large bowl like falling snow.
Excited by the fluffy flour, Xuka accidentally sneezed after some powder flew onto his nose. POOF! A cloud of flour covered his face completely, turning the little monkey white from head to toe. Dad burst into laughter while Xuka looked around in confusion. Even puppy Kun barked excitedly as if laughing at the silly sight.
After cleaning up, Xuka continued helping seriously. He carefully sifted the flour while Dad mixed eggs, milk, sugar, and butter in a large bowl. Xuka stirred the ingredients with all his strength, though sometimes the batter splashed onto the table. Despite the little mess, Dad praised him for working so hard.
Finally, the cake batter was ready. Dad poured it into a baking pan and placed it inside the oven. Soon, the sweet smell of freshly baked cake filled the entire house. Xuka sat impatiently in front of the oven, sniffing the delicious aroma with excitement.
When the cake was finished baking, it looked golden, soft, and perfect. Dad sliced a small piece for Xuka, who happily took a big bite. His face instantly lit up with joy because it tasted incredibly delicious.
“That’s the best cake ever!” Xuka shouted proudly.
Dad smiled and gently patted his head. Thanks to Xuka’s help preparing the fresh flour, the family enjoyed a wonderful homemade cake together that evening.
