Filly Flonka Bakes a Cake

They fly around for fun. 

They fly around with their family. They make chocolate cake and cookies. They want to be a chocolate chef like Willy Wonka. Filly Flonka! The chocolate fly. They would see and smell chocolate. Everywhere.

It smells like a rainy place. It looks like trees and animals and fruit and pollen. It sounds like tiny flies (midges) flapping their wings and monkeys making noise and fruit falling and birds calling. It tastes like fruit and pollen and nuts and seeds. It feels wet, damp, windy, fruity, and chocolaty.

But wait, there isn’t just a cacao tree, whose seeds are roasted and turned into chocolate.

There is a candy plant.

There is a pretzel plant. 

Filly Flonka is the size of the point of a pencil. He pollinates the cacao tree just like this.

He picks up the pollen on his little back and he takes it back to his kitchen inside of a tree. And he bakes the biggest chocolate cake the hive has ever seen.

See, the hive has never had chocolate cake before, so it’ll be their first time trying chocolate. It’ll also have chocolate whipped cream. 

The queen orders Filly Flonka to bake the cake for their chocolate-themed party. The party is at 3:30 p.m. and it’s 3:12 already! Oh no! So he has to act fast! Since he doesn’t have a lot of time, and he’s baking so fast, he makes a big mess. Whipped cream is all over him and the kitchen. So he puts it in the oven for less time, but it cooks just right, and he finishes in time. He gets it done!

Filly Flonka takes the cake to the party and it’s yummy, yummy in everyone’s tummies. Everyone says, “Thank you, Filly Flonka, for the cake.” And everyone takes a to-go plate. They also ask if he can make more cake.
