“Sprinkles,” Harry observed. “Probably fell off those birthday cupcakes.”

I couldn’t resist. I poked one. “Man, these cupcakes are hard!”

Harry and I followed the cat and looked behind the glass door. There were lots of little compartments. Each one had a snack sitting in it. “Wow! These cost fifty cents,” Harry said. “Just look at all the different bags of stuff.”
