It was a peaceful and bright morning when little Lala woke up early, brushed her teeth without being told, and even helped Mom sweep the floor. Her good behavior didn’t go unnoticed. Mom smiled warmly, proud of Lala’s obedience and helpfulness. As a reward for being such a good girl, Mom decided to make one of Lala’s favorite dishes — a simple but incredibly delicious pasta!
Lala’s eyes lit up the moment she heard the word “pasta.” She clapped her hands and even offered to help in the kitchen. Wearing her tiny apron, Lala stood on a small stool beside Mom, watching closely as the ingredients came together. The pasta was made with fresh tomatoes, garlic, a touch of olive oil, and a sprinkle of cheese — nothing fancy, but full of love and flavor.
As the smell of the simmering sauce filled the kitchen, Lala could barely contain her excitement. She helped stir the sauce gently and even added a few basil leaves at the end, just like Mom taught her. It was more than just cooking — it was a bonding moment filled with giggles and warm memories.
When the pasta was ready, Mom placed it carefully in Lala’s favorite bowl — the one with cartoon animals on it. Lala took her first bite and her eyes widened with joy. “Mmm! It’s so yummy, Mom!” she exclaimed, swinging her little legs in excitement as she sat at the table.
Mom sat beside her, smiling and gently brushing Lala’s hair behind her ear. “Good girls always deserve the best,” she said softly. Lala nodded with her mouth full, savoring every bite of the warm, cheesy noodles.
That simple pasta meal wasn’t just food — it was a reward, a lesson, and a reminder that love and kindness are returned in the sweetest ways. For Lala, it wasn’t just about the pasta; it was the love in every bite that made her feel truly special.
