* * * The Magic Spinner - Page 5

As a reward for all their work today, Mom wants to take Parker and Punky out to dinner. 

"Let's go out for dinner," Mom suggests. "It's a treat since you both worked so hard."

"Yeah!" Punky cheers as she jumps up and down. "Can we go to my favorite? ...Mi Rancho?"

"Naw," Parker says. "Let's go for sushi. Come on Mom. We always go to Mi Rancho."

"But I like to watch the tortillas getting made," Punky begs. She loves watching the tortilla machine as it flattens and bakes the tortillas in its tortilla baking machine.

"Please Mom," Parker begs. "I want to ask the manager what Grandpa's scrolls say. I really want to."

Mrs. Racoosin thins for a moment. She likes to encourage study, and the scrolls did look interesting. Having them translated could be interesting.

"Please," Parker begs again.

"Okay," Mom agrees. She knows that there are plenty of foods which Punky likes on the Japanese menu too.

When they get to the restaurant, Parker wants to ask the manager, Mr. Saito what his scrolls say. But mom tells him that they should order first and eat, and not bother Mr. Saito during the busiest time. 

After they finish their meal, and most of the dinner crowd has left, mom lets Parker show old Mr. Saito the spinner and the two scrolls. [Press Extra button.]
