A Fish Named Yum
“Buses ran late. Snowplows buried cabs. And more snow was on the way.
It was a bad day to be out. But it was a good day to be inside Smiling Sally’s Diner on Monroe. Mr. Pin was helping Sally bake chocolate chip cookies. He tasted every batch that came out of the oven. Along with her cinnamon rolls, the cookies were beginning to make Sally famous.
In fact, Sally’s cookies were so good that truckers took bags of them on long trips. The word about Sally’s cookies was spreading fast. A businesswoma...n said Sally should sell them to stores and call them “Famous Shamus” cookies after Mr. Pin.
“It’s a good idea, except who would know that a shamus is a detective,” Sally had said. “But I’ll think about it.”
Besides eating, Mr. Pin spent much of the morning hand-feeding chocolate chips to his fish named Yum. Since the fish had popped out of the basement during the great Chicago flood, the diner had become his home. There was only one problem. Yum was a picky eater. He refused to eat regular fish food.MoreLess
