I have this little sister, Lola.

She is small ind very funny.
Sometimes I have to keep an eye on her.

Sometimes Mom and Dad ask me to give Lola her dinner,

v; This is difficult because she is a very fussy eater.

--H^pMSiB^^c-'""

Lola won't eat carrots, of course.
She says caf'rots are for rabbits.

I say, "What about If

peas?

^© o o c o o

Lola says,

"Pefls are too small

and too ff

green.

One day I played a good trick on her.

Lola was sitting at the table,

waiting for her dinner.

And she said,

"I do not eat

O O ^0 or Ca^ob or potatoes

peas

or niuS[|nooins

or

eggs

or

salisages.

I do not eat

cdU|iflOuj| or cdbbdge or baked beans

or bananas O^Oor canges.

And I am not fond of

O

apples or rice or chee se

or

And f sh stichs.

I absolutely

will never

not ever

eat a toITlato/' ^j^ (My sister hates tomatoes.)

And I said,

II

That is lucky

because we are not having any of those things.

We are not going to eat any peas or carrots

or potatoes or mushrooms or spaghetti or eggs or sausages.

There will be no caulifloujer or

cabbage or bahed beans or bananas or oranges.'

[We don't have any apples or

I rice or cheese or fish stichs

and certainly

no tomatoes.

m

Lola looked at the table.

jj Then why are those Carrots there, Charlie?

''^^^ad/' she said, and tooica^^



Then Lola saw some peas

"I don't eat pe^S/'
said Lola.

I said,

"These are not peas.
Of course they are not.
These are green drops

from Greenland.

They are made

out of green

and fall from the sky."

"But I don't eat green

things/' Lola said.

;# Well,

I'll nibble

or two.

Oh/' said

Lola, "quite

tasty.

Next Lola saw the potato.

"I will not eat potato
so don't even try,

not even mashecl*

"Oh,

this

isn't
mashed potato.

People often

think that but no,
this is cloud fluff from

the pointiest peak of Mount Fuji/'

tl

Oh/' said Lola, "in that case a large helping for me.

I love to eat cloud."

"Charlie/'

she said,
"those look like fis[j sticks to me,

And then she said,

"Charlie, will you pass me

one of those?''

And I said.

II What, one of rr

those?

And Lola said,

"Yes, Charlie,

one of those."

And I couldn't believe my eyes

because guess what she was pointing at -

And I said. ^

Are you sure?

Really?

One

of these?

And she said.
