Description

The Story of the Failed Pumpkin Pie
Grandma makes the pie and tries to bake it. But it just won’t set. The crust is getting browner and everyone knows that Grandma hates a brown crust. But she can’t figure out why the pie isn’t setting. Finally, she realizes that she forgot the eggs. So she poured out the filling, added the eggs and baked the pie again. And it worked…but the crust was BROWN!
