Sophia is hard at work. Her deadline is close, and she is toiling away at top speed. Sophia is a baker, and she has an order for 300 cupcakes.
She woke at 3 A.M. to get started and went about the necessary preparations. There is nothing special about this order, although it is rather large. So, she begins by mixing and making the batter.As she assembles the ingredients, she realizes there is a problem. She doesn’t have enough sugar to properly make the frosting. Distraught, she calls her suppliers. However, it’s too early for them to be available.

And she must start making frosting now, or she will not have time to finish everything.
So, she runs to the 24-hour grocery store and buys what she can. When she takes stock of the amount she has, she only possesses about half of the necessary sugar. It’s still not enough.
Sophia improvises and sends her helper to get a sugar substitute. Upon her return, Sophia begins to make the frosting. The entire time she is mixing, blending, and cooking, this lack of necessary ingredients weighs heavily on her mind.
