THE HONEST BAKER:

STORY OF INTEGRITY
IN BUSINESS
 MILLY LOVED EATING CAKES
AND BAKING. SHE BAKED FOR HER
FAMILY TOO. SHE STARTED HER
SMALL BUSINESS AND GREW FAST.
TODAY, MILLY IS A FAMOUS BAKER
IN HER TOWN. EVERYBODY
KNOWS MILLY AS THE BAKER IN
THE TOWN WHO DELIVERS CUTE,
DELICIOUS CAKES WHICH ARE
FINGER-LICKING IN TASTE AND
EYE-CATCHING IN APPEARANCE.
 THE HONEST BAKER: STORY OF INTEGRITY IN BUSINESS

MILLY BAKED EVERY CAKE WITH ALL

HER LOVE. SHE NEVER COMPROMISED WHILE
BAKING. SHE PUT EVERYTHING IN HER CAKE
TO MAKE IT DELICIOUS AND LOOK GOOD AND
MADE SURE THAT HER CUSTOMERS LOVED
THE TASTE. THE CUSTOMER’S REVIEWS WERE
VERY MUCH VALUABLE FOR MILLY.
 THE HONEST BAKER: STORY OF INTEGRITY IN BUSINESS

ONE DAY, SHE GOT A HUGE BULK ORDER

FOR MAKING A CAKE. SHE FULFILLED THE
CUSTOMER’S CRITERIA SUCCESSFULLY AND
DELIVERED IT TO THEIR HOUSE WITHIN THE
TIME GIVEN.
DAYS PASSED AWAY, AND MILLY
CONTINUED HER BAKERY.
 THE HONEST BAKER: STORY OF INTEGRITY IN BUSINESS

BUT ONE DAY, SUDDENLY, THE PRICE OF

THINGS ROSE. AS A RESULT, EVERYTHING
BECAME HIGH IN PRICE, THE PRICES OF CREME,
MILK, BUTTER, WHEAT, AND EGGS. EVERYTHING
HAD BECOME TOO MUCH COSTLIER. MILLY WAS
AN HONEST PERSON. SHE STILL MANAGED WITH
HER BANK BALANCE AND INCOME TO BUY
EVERY STUFF NEEDED TO BAKE.
 THE HONEST BAKER: STORY OF INTEGRITY IN BUSINESS

MILLY WAS NOT ABLE TO INCREASE

THE RATES OF HER CAKE. SHE KEPT
SELLING THEM AT THE SAME RATES. AS A
RESULT, MILLY HAD GOT A LOW BANK
BALANCE, AND HER INCOME
DECREASED. HALF OF HER MONEY WENT
INTO BUYING STUFF FOR BAKING, AND
 THE HONEST BAKER: STORY OF INTEGRITY IN BUSINESS

ONE OF MILLY’S FRIENDS

SUGGESTED THAT SHE SHOULD USE LESS
STUFF IN HER BAKING PROCESS. SHE
GAVE HER THE IDEA TO USE LESS CREAM
AND LESS MILK AND ALSO TO GIVE LESS
AMOUNT OF CAKE. SHE SUGGESTED
THAT SHE SHOULD SELL A 1-POUND CAKE
 THE HONEST BAKER: STORY OF INTEGRITY IN BUSINESS

MILLY WAS TOLD THAT NO ONE’S GOING

TO CHECK OR WEIGH A CAKE, SO SHE SHOULD
MAKE FOOLS OF HER CUSTOMERS WHEN SHE
SUFFERED A SIGNIFICANT LOSS IN HER
BUSINESS. “AFTER ALL, BUSINESS IS ALL
ABOUT GAINING MONEY AND MAKING
CUSTOMERS A FOOL.” BUT MILLY DISAGREES.
SHE DIDN’T LIKE THE IDEA AND REFUSED TO
 THE HONEST BAKER: STORY OF INTEGRITY IN BUSINESS

MILLY KEPT GIVING THE RIGHT

AMOUNT OF MATERIAL TO HER
CUSTOMERS, AND AS A RESULT, DESPITE
TOUGH DAYS OF LOSS, THE NUMBER OF
HER CUSTOMERS INCREASED. SHE HAD
MORE CUSTOMERS, AND AFTER A FEW
DAYS, SHE MADE A NEW PRICE CHART
 THE HONEST BAKER: STORY OF INTEGRITY IN BUSINESS

SHE CALLED HER FRIEND AND SAID THAT

TODAY SHE GAINED CUSTOMERS INSTEAD OF
LOSING BECAUSE, DESPITE EVERYTHING, SHE KEPT
HER CAKES UP TO THE MARK AND CONTINUED TO
GIVE GOOD QUALITY, FOR WHICH HER CUSTOMERS
USED TO CALL HER THE BEST BAKER. IF SHE HAD
CHEATED THE WAY SHE WAS TOLD TO, SHE WOULD
HAVE LOST HER CUSTOMERS, AND ONE DAY, HER
BAKERY SHOP WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSED.
 THE HONEST BAKER: STORY OF INTEGRITY IN BUSINESS

THANKFULLY, MILLY CONTINUED

HER BUSINESS BY SERVING RIGHT TO
HER CUSTOMERS INSTEAD OF CHEATING
ON THEM.
