Salty Cupcakes

Ria and Mio are adopted children. They spent most of their lives in an orphanage until last year when a couple adopted them. Anna and Romell are their adopted parents. Mother's day was coming up and they wanted to do something nice for thee orphans, something family-like. 
"I feel sorry for the children without a family," Ria said. "We were fortunate enough to be adopted but, many others are not."She then sat on the living room couch. 
"I agree!" Mio exclaimed."We should make cupcakes for them to show that family is not only the people with the same blood as you but, the people who care for you and love you."
Three hours before they needed to come to the orphanage, they baked the cookies so that they would still be fresh. 
"We need to make 6 batches of cupcakes for the 72 children there,"Ria counted.
About 20 minutes before they needed to leave to go to the orphanage they tasted the cupcakes.
"Blechhhhh!" Mio exclaimed in disgust. "What did you put in the batch. It tastes like salt."
 "I put the mix from the box and some sugar," Mio answered back confused. 
"This is salt. You must have accidentally put it in instead of sugar," Ria yelled.
They rushed to the bakery to buy cupcakes for the orphans instead. They bought six dozen of them on time. Both of the siblings explained to the orphans why the cupcakes were store bought and what happened to theirs.
"It's the thought that counts,right?" a seven year old orphan asked politely.
It touched their hearts forever.
