Mom, I should be done soon. Could you do me a favour and start the oven? Oh, and could you please get me the trays?
Sure thing, Kristine. I'll go clear the oven and get the trays.
Do we have enough trays to make the cupcakes? We might not be able to buy new trays, especially in all this snow.
Flour
Sugar
But Mom, if I wait for the other batches to bake and cool, the batter will go bad. We can't wait till then.
Kristine, we don't have enough trays!
We don't have enough trays, and in this weather, we cant even go out to buy anything.
Is there anyone we can ask to borrow their trays? Maybe the neighbours?
We can't buy anything now. What are we going to do?
It's worth a shot. I'll go ask Mrs. Thatcher next door. She bakes a lot, so she would surely lend us some trays.
Of course I will. This is such a splendid idea. After all, we're taking part in the Spirit of Christmas.
Oh hi Tina. Nice to see you. Is there anything I can help you with?
Hi Mrs. Thatcher. Yes, there is. My daughter, Kristine, is baking 100 cupcakes to give to the homeless shelter for Christmas, and I was wondering if you could lend us a few cupcake trays.
Anytime. have fun baking!
Here you go, dear. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much Mrs. Thatcher. This means a lot to us!
That's great! Now, we can bake them all at once.
I got the trays! Mrs. Thatcher was happy to lend us her trays.
