Friday Afternoon Encounter at the Pond Chairs

What did you do in school today?

Just the regular, but we saw a play.

What was the name of it?

I don't know, but there was a murder, and wine, and poison, and peanut butter, and a girl who couldn't stop dancing. It was really funny. The cook did it. And the two girls found a secret passageway to their bedroom that was used by someone famous like George Washington.

Oh, do you remember that picture of the mushroom man that I made? You can have it.

Thanks. I'll pay you a dollar for it.

That's good because then next Friday I'll have enough money to buy a pickle and a coke.

A what?

A pickle and a coke. Two things for one dollar.

A real pickle?

And a real coke.
