Hardened White Sugar A Problem?

There Marash Girl found herself with time on her hands, and a five pound bag of sugar . . . why not make a cake for the grandkids? Good idea!!! So "Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to fetch her poor dog a. . . ." Whoops, wrong story . . . Marash Girl went to the cupboard to fetch her 5 pound bag of sugar, but when she got there, the 5 pound bag of sugar was as hard as a rock!!! Vaaht to do? Vaaht to do? Marash Girl didn't know, and the she no longer had her father's copy of the Encyclopedia Brittanica to consult (wonder if there would have been a solution there?) . . . so she went to the internet, and there (see below) she found the solution!!! "How to soften a hardened 5 lb. bag of granulated white sugar . . . Simply grab a moistened piece of paper towel (it should be damp, not dripping) and place it inside the container that holds the hardened sugar. Leave it in that container, covered, overnight in a cool, dry place and in the morning, remove the paper towel and crush the sugar with a spoon or fork until it becomes soft again." Marash Girl didn't really believe what she was reading. . . nonetheless, she decided to give it a try . . . and 24 hours later . . . guess what? It worked. The sugar was completely granulated when mashed up with a fork or tablespoon. Marash Girl was able to use that very sugar -- the sugar that had been as "hard as a rock" . . . the sugar that she thought she would have to toss out . . . that very sugar, now granulated, she could now use to make cupcakes for her grandchildren!!!! Would that life's "hard" problems could be as easy to soften!
