Baking a Cake - 100 words

In the vicinity of the big birch hanging over a drainpipe at the train station, buttercups lurked in the diffused amber light of the foggy wet morning. Harold took a moment and looked out over the mullion of the sliding window next to his seat on the train. He was having trouble with his morning crossword. He turned to the only other passenger in that compartment.

“Could you help me?”

“I will if I can. What is it you want?”

“Do you spell flower, F-L-O-W-E-R or F-L-O-U-R?”

“Depends. Are you creating a flower arrangement or are you baking a cake?”
