It's the morning of the bakery's opening. Everyone's baking and waiting for customers. The baker, who's known as "the dude" in the book, is the one who deserves an award for his hard work and dedication. He's also one of the few people in the world who doesn't mind being teased by the boss. He says that even though his pay and hours aren't great, it's all worth it because he's able to serve the customers who come in through the door and smile at him. He asks the baker what keeps him smiling, and the baker says that's because he loves to be teased by his boss, Wing. He also says that Wing eats 10 cakes a day, and he wonders if he only smiles when things are going wrong. The bakery owner says that she's willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of her customers and her happiness. She tells the baker that she wants to buy her mom a birthday present, but the cakes haven't been ready yet. She asks if she can pay for the cake, and she says yes. She also tells him that Wing is smiling at her because she loves her mom so much. She thanks him and tells him to get to work.
