Heyyy! Got a sec? Do you have any sugar? I Need some for my cake. Help a neighbor out?
Come on in, Lily. My place is a mess, but I got sugar for ya.
Grab it from the pantry, Lily. Can't bake without sugar, right? Make yourself at home.
Thanks so much! You're a lifesaver. I owe you big time! If there's ever anything you need, don't hesitate to ask. I'll do whatever I can to help.
It’s nothing. No biggie. You’re making that cake for someone special or what?
Oh, no. Not really. Just wanted to try out a new recipe. But hey, if you're interested, maybe I could make one for you sometime?
That sounds great, Lily. I'm always up for a good cake. And hey, if you ever need help with anything else, just give a shout. We're neighbors, after all.
You know, Wallace, I really appreciate your kindness. It's neighbors like you that make life worth living. I hope I can repay your generosity somehow.
Don’t worry about it, Lily. Anytime you need something, just holler. You got a deal?
Deal! grabs the sugar and heads towards the door Thanks again, Wallace. You're a gem in this crazy world. Take care!
No problem, Lily. Enjoy that cake. And remember, if you need anything else, I'm just a shout away. Bye now!

Some time has passed since Lily's last visit. One evening, as Wallace is flipping through TV channels, he notices a news report about an award that Lily has recently received for her baking skills. Intrigued, he watches the report intently, learning about how Lily's hobby has brought joy not only to her neighbors but also to many people in the community. The report ends with an interview with Lily, where she expresses her gratitude towards her neighbors for their support. Wallace feels a warm sense of pride knowing that he was one of the factors contributing to Lily's success.
