Glazed Doughnuts
It was the Cooking Festival today and I was really
excited. It was my first time and I would be able to taste all the
entries. I wondered who would be joining and what food they'd make.
A few hours later I went into the town square and walked to the
center. I saw everybody except Katie. I sighed. I walked around and
sat down between Basil and Michael. I was really excited. I suddenly
felt soft hands over my eyes. They smelled like flour.
"Who is
it?" I heard a girl say behind me. I immediately knew who it is but
kept on guessing just to be sure.
"Is it Lyla?"
"Nope."
I
smelled her sweet-smelling breath.
"Is it Maria?"
"Nope."
"Oh!
I know. It's Katie."
"You got it."
I looked behind me
to see Katie smiling. She was holding glazed doughnuts on a silver
platter.
"I hear it's your first time."
"It it. Are you
entering that in the competition?"
"Yup. I baked it an hour
ago so I couldn't come early. Freshness makes everything taste
better."
"I know that you'll win with that food."
She
sighed.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No. It's just
that I never win. Carl always win. It's not fair."
The smile
vanished and she began to pout. I smiled at her and she smiled
back.
"I'm sorry Kyle for acting like that. You must think I'm
a baby but I really wish I could win this time."
"You will.
I'm positive"
I said that reassuringly hoping it would make her
happy again. It did.
"Thank you."
And she ran off to the
center where Gourmet was starting to taste the entries. When he got
to Katie's I watched silently. Gourmet ate a chunk out of it and
grinned.
"Why this is delicious! This is the most
mouth-watering, scrumptious, best-tasting doughnut I ever tasted.
It's original and I say it's fresh. Baked about one hour ago a
presume?"
Katie nodded and grinned.
"Delicious."
I
applauded louder than anybody else. Fortunately, no one noticed. At
the end of the tasting the entries were passed around for everybody
to taste. Katie walked over to me and told me to eat one. I gobbled
it up quickly and smiled. Mmmmm...This really is delicious.
Everyone waited for half an hour and held their breath as
Gourmet told everyone who won. He winked at Katie.
"And the
winner is..."
Everyone leaned forward as if they couldn't
hear him.
"And the winner is...Katie! She'll receive a
medal, 100,000G, and a season's supply of ingredients to cook
anything she wants!"
Everyone clapped and whistled. Katie
blushed and walked up to the stage receiving the medal. I was proud
of her. I knew she'd be real happy.
She really made delicious
glazed doughnuts.
