Jierra heard a growl. Not the growl of a dirtier. Just the growl of Edlia's stomach. Edlia frowned as if to say, Why hasn't anyone suggested we go find breakfast? So Jierra said, "Let's eat! I'll bet there's apple pie, chicken and dumplings, peas and carrots, lettuce with vinaigrette, turkey breast and milk, and finally, root beer and lemonade." Jierra jumped up. "I'll race ya," said Dave. "Me, too," said Edlia. So they raced to the end of the hall. Edlia won, Jierra came in second, and Dave lost. They turned into the kitchen. It amazingly had exactly what Jierra said. Jierra sat next to Edlia, while Dave sat at the far end of the table. Nobody wanted to sit next to him because he wet his pants. Jierra and Dave had two helpings of everything, but Edlia only had one dumpling, a large piece of chicken, a slice of apple pie, and a glass of lemonade. Jierra burped twice, and Dave burped once. "Excuse you! You should be ashamed  of yourselves! " said Edlia. Then she burped, too. " Excuse me," she said shyly,  and looked down at her empty plate. Jierra and Dave snickered.
