Read this story.

One day, Greg was making lasagna with his father in the kitchen. Dad asked Greg to add a cup of grated cheese to the mixing bowl with the eggs, flour, and cottage cheese.

Instead of measuring out the grated cheese, Greg turned over the container and poured most of it into the bowl.

"Greg!” Dad said. His voice got kind of loud. "I told you to put in one cup!”

"Yeah, Dad,” said Greg. "But I like my lasagna really cheesy.”

"Okay, Greg. We can’t change it now,” said Dad. "But since you made it like that, you’ll have to eat some of it, even if you don’t like it. I don’t want to hear any complaints at suppertime that the lasagna is too cheesy.”



Imagine that the author added these lines to the end of the story:

When the family sat down to supper, the lasagna turned out to be too cheesy even for Greg, and he didn’t like the flavor of it. Still he had to eat it.

"Next time,” he muttered to himself, "next time....”

Considering the conflict in the story and the added lines, what message is the author most likely trying to get across?

Following directions is important.
Not everyone has the same tastes.
Taking action fast can help others.
