Sweet Stuff


Mia and Carter, two friends all the way from childhood were thinking of an ambitious project: a food-truck that would sell gourmet desserts. They were now here, in "Sugar and Spice," a quirky café known for its exotic desserts and unpredictable events. This visit could give them some good ideas for their project.

The café was buzzing with energy, today. Many divine scents, especially that of cinnamon and chocolate, filled its inside. Mia and Carter were shown to a corner booth. As soon as they sat down, Carter opened his laptop to a spreadsheet of possible costs.

"Such delicious food and coffee," Mia muttered, nibbling on a sugar-dusted croissant. "So, what do you think?"

Carter frowned. "Houston, we have a problem!" He leaned back in his chair and pointed to the menu on the wall and around the place. "It's the startup costs. Much higher than we expected."

"Relax," Mia grinned. "We can pitch the idea around. If we win, another business may cover half of our starting costs."

Before Carter could answer her, a man at a table close by suddenly sprang up from his chair. "I'm the king of the world!" he shouted, holding his fork as if a scepter. The café erupted in laughter, and everyone applauded.

Mia laughed, too. "See?" she said to Carter, "Confidence is key. I bet we've got this."

Carter smirked. "Okay, then," he said. "So, show me the money!"

"Deal!" Mia held out her hand and Carter shook it.

"Let's try! Let's just start on it, at least," Carter said, feeling a bit more hopeful. "Let's try a bank loan, too. We'll make it work somehow."

“After all, every king—or queen—needs a sweet empire to rule,” Mia chuckled.

"Savor flavors, ignite senses!" Carter said, now smiling widely.

"Hey, that's a good motto for our food truck!" Mia exclaimed.

As they left the café a while later, Mia and Carter were happy, in good spirits, and full of hope. At least, they had come up with what to write on the two sides of their food truck: "Savor flavors, ignite senses!"

Isn't it so true that sweet treats make our outlook on life much more sweeter!
