Vegetable Soup

We are working on preparing for the ISTEP test in March at the middle school; quite a feat for sure. Today's assignment required the students to read an excerpt about a baker and asked them if this is a profession they would like to have. One student's response:

I would like to be a baker...If I were a baker I would make lots of money and then I could buy my family lots of things--a mustang, a house, a hot tub. Then I would know how to bake things for my family too--cake.

But I would also know how to make vegetable soup--
so they wouldn't get too fat.
