Nancy walked over to the sculpture. She noticed there were two steaming cups of some sort of beverage next to them.

Was it hot chocolate? Nancy wondered. She pretended to check out the sculpture. But instead, she peered into the cups.

They were filled with hot cider. Nancy bit back her disappointment.

“Okay, we’ll be going now,” Nancy said to Denise and Tess. “Bye!”

George looked puzzled. “But, Nancy, our survey—”

Nancy tugged on George’s arm. “It’s okay. Bye, Denise and Tess!” she called out.

Nancy and George moved on. “Why didn’t we ask them about what kind of hot chocolate they’re drinking?” George whispered.

“Because they were drinking hot cider. Come on, let’s check out the next person,” Nancy whispered back.

Down the path from Denise, a girl was making a snow sculpture of a race car. “Oh, wow, that’s so cool!” George said to the girl. “Is that a Nascar race car?”

“Grand Prix,” the girl corrected her. “I’m a huge Grand Prix fan.”

The girl seemed a little older than Nancy and George. She was dressed in a black parka. Her dark brown hair hung down in dozens of dreadlocks with red and yellow beads in them.

“I’m Layah,” the girl introduced herself.

“I’m Nancy, and this is George,” Nancy said. “Your sculpture is really great!”

“What are you guys making for the competition?” Layah asked.

“We’re making a scene from Swan Lake,” George replied. “We’re on a team with my cousin Bess.”

“Oh, you’re the ones who had your sculpture messed up,” Layah said. “That’s too bad. Maybe you should make something else, anyway. Ballet is kind of lame.”

“Lame?” George burst out.

Layah shrugged. “Yeah. You put on a pink tutu and spin around. Big deal! Now, Grand Prix racing—that’s exciting!”

“Ballet is way more exciting!” George shot back. “You have to be super strong to do jumps and leaps. And I bet race-car drivers can’t do splits in the air, like ballet dancers do!”

“Oh, yeah?” Layah snapped.

As the two girls argued back and forth, Nancy happened to notice something.

There was a cup of hot chocolate sitting next to Layah’s backpack.

It had bunny-shaped marshmallows in it!
