The scent of freshly baked cookies wafted through the house. Fiona danced around the kitchen, placing them on a plate. She'd been preparing for her mother's visit all day. She had set the table with her mother’s favorite china, and her heart was brimming with joy.

Her mother knocked on the door and Fiona practically leaped to answer it. "Mom! You're here!"

"Fiona, darling, there's something I want to share," her mother said, her eyes shining. Fiona couldn't contain her glee.

"I'm now a part of the Rastafari faith," her mother revealed, her voice filled with conviction. Fiona squealed and clapped her hands. "That is so wonderful! Come in, the cookies are waiting! I'm so happy for you!"
