How the story begins
Chapter 1: The Enormous Cake
Once upon a time, on an island in the Red Sea, there lived a Parsee man called Pestonjee. He had nothing but a little cooking stove and a hat so shiny that it sparkled in the sun more brightly than anything you have ever seen. He lived beside the warm sea, and he loved cake more than anything.
