Well, in the 'you can't have your cake and eat it too story', there could be a man who has a rare book. He wants to keep it as part of his collection, maintaining its pristine condition. But he also wants to read it often. If he reads it frequently, the book will get damaged over time, reducing its value as a collectible. So, he has to choose between having a well - read, perhaps damaged book that he enjoys reading, or a perfectly preserved book that he doesn't touch much. This example clearly illustrates the idea that you can't have two opposing things when it comes to the same object or situation.

Of course. Let's say you have a beautiful new dress. You can either keep it in perfect condition to wear for a special occasion in the future (keep the 'cake' of having it for later) or you can wear it right away to a party (eat the 'cake' of using it now). But you can't do both. The dress will get worn if you use it, and if you keep it for later, you can't enjoy wearing it right now.

The story behind 'you can't have your cake and eat it too' is all about choices and consequences. Essentially, it's a way of saying that you can't possess something in one state (like having a whole cake) and then also consume it (which changes its state to being eaten). It's like if you want to preserve a beautiful flower by keeping it in a vase, but at the same time you want to use its petals for making tea. You have to choose one or the other. In life, we often face such situations where two desires or actions are incompatible, and this phrase serves as a reminder that we need to make a decision and accept the outcome of that choice.

Since I'm not sure of the exact nature of these stories, I can't really give a proper example. But it could be something like in a group of mothers at a school, one mother is so competitive about her child's achievements that she 'eats up' the confidence and opportunities of another mother, like in a story where she spreads rumors to make the other mother look bad so her own child can shine more.
