Once upon a time, Cinny had a cookie. Made with the best ingredients, shaped and baked to perfection. And Cinny had a penchant for dipping cookies into milk. She had two choices - to eat the cookie with one glass of whole milk, or break this cookie into pieces to dip in different kinds of milk; strawberry, chocolate, coffee(it exists)...
Cinny proceeded to experiment instead. Why stick to normal milk when you can try other flavors? Cinny wanted to taste everything before deciding which one she likes best. Cinny decided she was not being greedy; just rational.
But she forgot one minor detail - she loses a part of the cookie everytime she dips.
Before long, Cinny realized she had finished half of her cookie. And parts of the remains were soggy. She had fun dipping, but she missed the full cookie she used to have. Cinny decided to keep the slightly damaged half-cookie untouched for a while.
One day, Cinny found a glass of milk in her house. Fresh, whole milk, but she could see the cookie crumbs floating in the glass - someone has dipped their cookie in it before. She much preferred the milk to be undipped, because the stale cookie crumbs changed the milk somewhat, somehow. Then she stared at her own half-dipped cookie, and knew that she was in no position to complain. Cinny sighed, and instead began to wish that she could create a perfect, untouched cookie to dip wholly in her choice of milk.
Nevertheless, Cinny took the plunge and dipped once again. Into the crumb-filled milk. It tasted great, much better than any other glass of milk she had tried before. But she always feel that way at the first dip, she realized. The last dip was the tricky part, where you need to find the right spot to hold the cookie without dropping it into the milk.
Now, Cinny is still dipping into the milk. But she's running out of cookie. She wishes she could've given her cookie whole to this glass of milk. This glass of milk is healthy and good for her and her cookie (despite the annoying foreign cookie crumbs she tries to fish out).
But Cinny can't. Coz Cinny gave too many pieces of her cookie away too fast too soon.
