THE PERFECT PIE

One day a girl named Olivia was getting prepared for her family reunion with all of her family members. The reunion was going to be the biggest they ever had. It has food and the adults and kids would play games together. Olivia was nervous because this year she would have to make the pie for the reunion. She knew how to make a pie, but wasn’t very good at making a pie.

She asked her mom for help but she was busy making the other food. She asked her dad and he said for her to look on YouTube for videos on how to make a good pie. She only had one day until her relatives would show up for the reunion.

She watched the videos for hours and decided to make another pie. The pie was too crunchy and not circular. Her mom came in and wondered why it wasn’t done. Olivia then sadly said “I'm not good at making pies.” Her mother then rolled her eyes and left the room. She got angry and sad so she went to bed because she spent all day trying to make a pie.

Olivia woke up to find most of her relatives there in her house. She said hi to all of them and said, “sorry everyone I didn’t make a good pie.”

Her grandmother said, “well why don't we help you?”

Everyone immediately agreed and took out the ingredients.

They all chatted and enjoyed making the pie. After shaping the pie, Olivia put it in the oven and waited.

Soon after she took out the pie. It was not a perfect circle and was a little crunchy. Her grandmother said, “Let's all eat shall we?” They all got a slice and made jokes about it and spent time together the entire day. Despite the shape and it being crunchy, they all agreed it was the perfect pie.
