Mr. Pepperadder grabbed and shook Miss Mush’s arm. “They like it!” he said excitedly. “Look at them! They really like it.”
Miss Mush didn’t say a word. A tear rolled down her sweaty and sooty cheek.
“Did you write down the recipe?” he asked.
Miss Mush shook her head. “There is no recipe,” she whispered. “No two rainbows are the same.”
She gazed out across the lunchroom. This was all she ever wanted.
Everybody chewed.
