The Great Pancake Flip of Max
Max tries to flip a pancake, and it lands in a very surprising place.
It was Pancake Day. Max mixed flour, eggs and milk in a big bowl. Maya the lion stirred. The batter was smooth and creamy. ‘Time to cook!’ said Max.
Max poured batter into the pan. Sizzle! It turned golden. ‘Now for the flip,’ he said proudly. He gave the pan a big toss. WHOOSH! The pancake flew up, up, up.
And it landed in the sink! Splat! Maya stared. Max stared. Then they both burst out laughing. ‘Try again!’ said Maya. This time, Max flipped it just right.
Soon there was a tall stack of pancakes. They added sweet syrup, juicy strawberries and a big blob of cream. ‘Perfect,’ sighed Max. And that was the last thing either of them said for a long, delicious while.
