After the movies we took the two girls to the soda shoppe. The moment I was waiting for seemed to be approaching as we sat down to order our choice of the delica- cies on the menu. It was then that I received the shock of my life. That long anticipated moment when I would eat free food because of my cousitfs tare generosity was only a comical farce. My cousin had enough money to buy only three sodas. In short, I was left out. I managed to crawl back home starved. Even the crackling of the coal inside the old stove in my grand- mothefs kitchen seemed to laugh at me as I bored into a mountain of sweet buttermilk pancakes. But I diant care; I was finally eating. Dates? Bah!!!
