When Shelby came in the house, she smelled the cherry pie right away. Cherry pie was her favorite, and she couldn't believe her mother had made one. "May I have a piece right now, with ice cream on it?" she asked. "No, you cannot," her mother replied. "That pie is for the church potluck dinner. You can have a piece there." "Oh, Mom, it'll probably all be eaten by the time I get through the line," she whined. "Besides, their ice cream is always half melted." "I don't care. I'm not showing up at church with half my pie eaten," her mother said. "I just wanted one piece," Shelby mumbled. Later that day when they arrived at church, the tables were loaded with all sorts of food. Shelby followed her mother to the dessert table. There were two other cherry pies plus a dozen other desserts, at least. Shelby's mouth watered as she looked at the chocolate cake and the trays of brownies and fudge as well as three different kinds of cobbler. "More cooks mean more choices," her mother said. "Aren't you glad you waited?" What is the theme of this passage? A. Be careful of what you ask for. B. Patience has its rewards. C. Food should not be wasted. D. Good things don't last long.
