Leo Bakes a Cupcake

Leo the lion loved to eat yummy things. One day, he wanted a cupcake. "I will bake a cupcake!" said Leo.

First, Leo looked in his book. It showed how to bake. He needed flour, sugar, and eggs. Leo got a big bowl.

He put the flour in the bowl. Then, he added the sugar. After that, he cracked the eggs. "Mix, mix, mix!" Leo said.

Leo poured the mix into a small cup. He put the cup in the hot oven. "Now, we wait," said Leo. It felt like a very long time.

Ding! The oven said the cupcake was ready. Leo took it out. He let it cool. Then, he ate it all up. "Yummy!" said Leo. He smiled. He wanted to bake another one!
