"Si," A smile "What would you like?"

"Could we have cinnamon toast please?"

"...with butter."

"Of course!" A motion "Rosa... "

The other boggan comesi n..and they talk rapidly in Spanish

SALMA might hear some concerning words... something about 'are they getting enough vegetables?' 'too many sweets?'

Ellie listens HARD... fast Spanish means she misses most of it, but she is paying attention!

But they do make the cinnamon toast

"Muchos gracias!" Ellie is a little fast and loose with her o's and a's...

"mmmm-mmmm grmmmphcias" Mumbles Salma as well, blissfully chomping on her toast.

"De Nada " And the ladies go back to talking.

A whisper "Isn't verduras green?"

"I THINK So... "

Salma's large ears hear (Translated from the Spanish) "We want them to be healthy." "oh but let's not stop sweets entirely" "of course not, but they must eat their greens"

Her ear perks, wilts, and she chews rapidly and swallows, before piping up en espanol: (s) "Senoras, maybe... if there is butter? Everything IS tasty with butter.... "

"More butter" A nod

The meal is wonderful... sweet and delicious

It would be the last of the meals before the coming nutrition wars.... battles of legend would later ensue

A fight for another day! For now, Salma licks her fingers clean, washes hands, and then will proceed with reading from the promised book.

Ariel, for her part, will try to learn how to play the harmonica! What she lacks in knowledge, or experience, she'll make up in enthusiasm

Ellie loves listening to Salma read - she herself is not a strong reader, and often has to sound things out.

And yes, Rapunzel fits perfectly on Maximus
