In a short time it will be the holy month. So tonight, we make apam cakes.

Mom has hurt her hand. We can not make the apam cakes.

Dad makes me a stove with rocks and leaves. He will set a flame under the pot.

First, I put the flour into the milk. And I splash some on me too.

I give it a good mix. Mom thinks I am too hard with the spoon.

When the mix is thick, we put it in the pot. Mom puts the lid on. We leave it to roast.

'Oh no!' I groan. I did not check the mix. It is burnt.

Not all of the cakes are black. We can still eat some of them.

They are not like Mom makes them. But at least, we had some apam cakes.
