"Little one, what did you see in this parable?"
Ron pondered over the story just told:
"Jerry succeeded in the end because it changed its way of thinking. It no longer adhered to the literal meaning of the recipe; it began to truly understand the essence behind each ingredient."

"Then, what is the essence of fire?"
