Bruno Makes a Deal

Bruno got home from school hungry. He was so hungry he fell down on the kitchen floor. Dad emptied Bruno’s lunch box. “No wonder you’re hungry,” Dad said. “You didn’t eat your sandwich.”

“There was green in it,” Bruno said.

“Then why didn’t you swap it?”

Bruno sat up. “Swap? What’s swap?”

“You know—trade,” Dad said. “When I was a boy, I always swapped the things I didn’t like in my lunch.”

“For what?” Bruno asked.

“For a better lunch.”

Bruno said, “I’ll swap you my green sandwich for some macaroni.”

“It’s a deal,” Dad said.

The next morning, Mom made Bruno’s lunch. Bruno asked her to please, please, please put lettuce in his sandwich.

“Call nine-one-one!” Mom shouted. “Quick! We need an ambulance!”

But she did what Bruno asked. She sent him to school with a very green sandwich.

At lunch, Bruno opened his lunch box and took the sandwich out. He looked around at what all the other kids had. Some of them had green in their sandwiches too. But some of them were eating sandwiches Bruno liked: cheese sandwiches, ham sandwiches, ham-and-cheese sandwiches. His friend Ravi had something even better.

“Is that a macaroni sandwich?” Bruno asked Ravi.

Ravi said, “Yes.”

“Is it good?”

“Yes. But I’ve had macaroni sandwiches for three days in a row.”
