Sally's wish was to be a famous baker. She loved being in the kitchen and was always making up new recipes. Sally's mother was so proud of her and would often spend all day baking with her. It made Sally's sister, Tina, very jealous.

One day, Tina told Sally about a baking competition that was going to be held later that week. Sally was so excited that she started working on a new bread recipe right away. Sally worked all day and all night on her recipe. She wanted it to be perfect. Finally, on the night before the competition, the loaf of bread she was baking tasted just right. She stored the freshly baked loaf of bread in the oven. Sally was so happy that when she went to bed, she had a wonderful dream about winning the baking competition the next day.
