Once upon a time, in a cozy little town, there lived a young girl named Caiden. Caiden loved to explore, learn new things, and use her imagination. But one thing she had always been curious about was cooking. One sunny day, Caiden's mom, Mrs. Johnson, noticed her daughter's interest and decided to teach her how to cook. She believed that cooking was not only about making yummy food but also a way to be creative and have fun. So, Mrs. Johnson took Caiden by the hand and said, "Caiden, how would you like to learn how to cook and make delicious meals?" Érase una vez, en un pequeño y acogedor pueblo, vivía una joven llamada Caiden. A Caiden le encantaba explorar, aprender cosas nuevas y usar su imaginación. Pero una cosa que siempre le había interesado era cocinar. Un día soleado, la madre de Caiden, la señora Johnson, notó el interés de su hija y decidió enseñarle a cocinar. Ella creía que cocinar no se trataba sólo de preparar comida deliciosa, sino también de ser creativo y divertirse. Entonces, la señora Johnson tomó a Caiden de la mano y le dijo: "Caiden, ¿te gustaría aprender a cocinar y preparar comidas deliciosas?"

She believed that cooking was not only about making yummy food but also a way to be creative and have fun. So, Mrs. Johnson took Caiden by the hand and said, "Caiden, how would you like to learn how to cook and make delicious meals?"
Caiden's eyes sparkled with excitement. She nodded her head vigorously and replied, "Yes, Mom! I want to learn how to make amazing dishes!" With that, they both headed into the kitchen. Mrs. Johnson explained that they would start with something simple - scrambled eggs. Caiden listened carefully as her mom shared the recipe, mentioning all the ingredients they would need. Los ojos de Caiden brillaron de emoción. Ella asintió vigorosamente con la cabeza y respondió: "¡Sí, mamá! ¡Quiero aprender a preparar platos increíbles!". Dicho esto, ambos se dirigieron a la cocina. La señora Johnson explicó que empezarían con algo sencillo: huevos revueltos. Caiden escuchó atentamente mientras su madre compartía la receta y mencionaba todos los ingredientes que necesitarían.

As they gathered the eggs, cheese, and other ingredients, Caiden realized that some of the words her mom was using were new to her. But she didn't want to admit it, thinking that asking for help meant she wasn't good enough. So, she decided to figure it out by herself. When it was time to crack the eggs, Caiden tried her best to imitate her mom. But oh dear, tiny bits of eggshell fell into the bowl. Caiden's face turned red with frustration, and she felt her eyes welling up. Mientras reunían los huevos, el queso y otros ingredientes, Caiden se dio cuenta de que algunas de las palabras que usaba su madre eran nuevas para ella. Pero no quería admitirlo, pensando que pedir ayuda significaba que no era lo suficientemente buena. Entonces, decidió resolverlo por sí misma. Cuando llegó el momento de romper los huevos, Caiden hizo todo lo posible por imitar a su madre. Pero, ¡Dios mío!, en el cuenco cayeron pedacitos de cáscara de huevo. El rostro de Caiden se puso rojo de frustración y sintió que se le llenaban los ojos de lágrimas.

Mrs. Johnson noticed Caiden's struggle and gently said, "Sweetie, it's alright to ask for help. Mistakes happen, and getting support doesn't mean you failed. Let's fix this together, shall we?" Caiden hesitated for a moment, but then realized her mom was right. She wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and asked her mom for assistance in removing the eggshells. With a warm smile, Mrs. Johnson helped her daughter, explaining that we all need help sometimes, and it's a part of learning and growing. La señora Johnson notó la lucha de Caiden y dijo gentilmente: "Cariño, está bien pedir ayuda. Los errores suceden y obtener apoyo no significa que hayas fallado. Arreglemos esto juntos, ¿de acuerdo?". Caiden dudó por un momento, pero luego se dio cuenta de que su madre tenía razón. Se secó las lágrimas, respiró hondo y le pidió ayuda a su madre para quitarle las cáscaras de huevo. Con una cálida sonrisa, la Sra. Johnson ayudó a su hija y le explicó que todos necesitamos ayuda a veces y que es parte del aprendizaje y el crecimiento.
