PIZZA with a Twist
Jake heard the doorbell ring and jumped up to open the front door.His good friends Bo and Ruby were standing outside."How's it going?" Jake asked, as he welcomed them into the house.
"We're looking for something fun to do," said Ruby."And, we're hungry! Do you have anything to eat?"
"You two are always hungry," laughed Jake."All right, let's find some food."
Ruby and Bo followed Jake into the kitchen, and Jake searched through the refrigerator.Finding some fresh pizza dough, he said, "Hey, I have an idea.Let's make a pizza . . . but with a twist."
"What do you mean?" Ruby asked. She looked confused.
"We have the dough," Jake explained, "but we don't have the other ingredients.Finding them will be the twist," he said with a wink.
"OK," said Bo. "Let's make a list, and then we can go shopping."
Jake, Bo, and Ruby started the list by writing down the basic ingredients for pizza—cheese, tomatoes, garlic.
"Write basil and oregano on the list too," Ruby told Jake.
"What?" asked Bo. "What are those?"
"They're seasonings," explained Jake."They'll make the pizza taste great."
Jake, Bo, and Ruby finished off the list by adding olives and pineapple.Then they inspected their list until everyone was satisfied.Going shopping for the ingredients was the next step.
"Should we walk to the supermarket or ride our bikes?" asked Bo as they walked outside.
"I have a better idea," Jake replied, grinning mysteriously."Get ready! Here comes the twist!" Jake snapped his fingers loudly, and suddenly everything was dark.The children felt like they were spinning through the air.
After a few seconds it was light again and they felt their feet back on the ground.When Jake, Bo, and Ruby looked around, they realized they were in a different place.The children were standing in a bustling outdoor market in the country of Peru!
"Wow!" said Bo. "This really is a twist!"
"This is incredible!" Ruby said, puzzled.
"Now you know my finger-snapping trick," said Jake."This is where we'll get the tomatoes for our pizza!"
The market was set up along both sides of the roadwith awnings protecting the sellers and their products from the hot sun.
The vendors called out to Ruby, Jake, and Bo, showing off what they had to sell.There were sacks of flour, baskets of bread, and bunches of fresh flowers.Fruits and vegetables were stacked in neat piles.Ruby spotted the tomatoes and chose several ripe ones.She placed them in a string bag.
"Now we can cross tomatoes off the list," said Bo.
"That's right," agreed Jake. "Are we ready to move on?"
Bo and Ruby looked at each other nervously."Oh boy," Ruby said."I think Jake's going to do that thing with his fingers again. Get ready, Bo!"
Jake snapped his fingers again, and the children vanished from the market in Peru.
