Three rivals, Flour, Salt, and Yeast, all lived in old Mrs. Baker’s kitchen. Each of them
believed that they were better than their other cupboard mates. Flour thought that Yeast was
uncivilized because of his tannish color, and that Salt’s coarseness translated to a rough
personality. Though Salt shared Flour’s view on Yeast, he still hated Flour’s ignorant ideas about
fineness equating to a more gentle personality. Yeast disliked Flour and Salt because they just
didn’t seem like fun guys.
Though the three of them could never get along with each other, they did have two
similarities. First, they all felt as if they were worthless, but their prideful natures refused to tell
the others about this insecurity. Mrs. Baker had never even touched any of them for as long as they could remember. It was as if they had no purpose in being there in that cabinet at all. Their other similarity was that they shared a very close friend, Water, who lived downstairs on the Counter. No amount of words could describe Water’s giving personality. She loved Flour, Yeast, and Salt dearly and constantly tried to make them befriend one another. Having three friends who despise each other was no fun at all. …show more content…
Water could never have a decent conversation with any
of them without hearing a rude comment about the other. She couldn’t bear see her caring friends
filled with so much hate. At some point, after years and years of hearing comments about Yeast’s
color, Flour’s superiority, and Salt’s coarseness, Water was tired of it all. She thought day and
night trying to think of a way to make her friends like each other. Finally, she came up with the
perfect plan.
The next day, Water invited each of them individually to her house in the Bowl on the
Counter. She conveniently forgot to mention that the other two were also invited, of course.
Flour, Yeast, and Salt had never been to Water’s house before so they all graciously accepted. In
preparation of going to Water’s Bowl, Flour made himself as white as possible, salt as shiny as
possible, and yeast as yeastish as possible. Water hoped that this meeting would help her friends
happily join together. Flour, Yeast, and Salt had never actually even talked to each other before,
so Water hoped that once they started conversing, they’d be friends in no time.
When the day of their little get together finally arrived, Yeast came first. He complimented Water on her sparkling Bowl. Then, Salt came in and furiously saw Yeast already sitting in there. Flour arrived soon after and the three looked at each other with great contempt. How could Water invite people like this to her house, each thought to themselves. They all respected Water too much to say anything though so they just sat there scowling. Water, sensing danger, quickly turned on some music and encouraged them to dance. Unwillingly, they got up one by one, keeping as far apart from each other as they could. As these guests were dancing, Salt fell down and hurt himself. Yeast quickly ran over to make him feel better. Salt tried to ignore Yeast at first, but soon, both Flour and Salt discovered Yeast’s ability to lift up people’s spirits. He could make them
