Biting Off More Than You Can Chew

Growly Bear is trying to teach Princess Kitty to cook. Growly Bear is usually a very good teacher. He is very kind and patient. He also likes a challenge. He thinks teaching Princess Kitty to cook is a challenge. He also thinks it is important as it will help her understand the point of guinea pigs.

Princess Kitty is keen to learn. She would like to be able to cook as well as Growly Bear. She watches carefully when he shows her how to make his special salad. She listens carefully when he explains how to make cauliflower cheese. She smells the delicious smells he makes as he is cooking and tastes the lovely meals he cooks. She works hard to prepare things just like Growly Bear.

Sometimes though things go wrong for Princess Kitty. Sometimes she gets impatient and turns the heat up to make things cook more quickly. Then the food sticks to the pan. Sometimes she gets distracted and forgets to check the food and it burns. Like her fish fingers the other night. Sometimes she misreads the recipe and ends up with potato jackets like coconut shells. Poor Princess Kitty.

Growly Bear tries very hard to be understanding about Princess Kitty's little mishaps. He offers her words of reassurance and encouragement. He does wonder to himself, though, if he really has bitten off more than he can chew this time.
