Popcorn Man and the Attack of the Salt and Butter


Rachael came home from a friend's house today and handed me an envelope addressed
"FOR MOM AND DAD FROM RACHAEL."

Inside was this story. The above is the title page.

Popcorn Man and the Attack of the Salt and Butter

One day Popcorn Man was popping in the microwave. He couldn't wait -- he was going to go out and see the whole world for the first time.

Then, when the microwave stopped and the door opened, all the popcorn exploded out. When he landed on the floor he crawled over to the table and crawled up the table leg. Then, when he got to the top, the only things on the table were the salt and butter.

The salt started talking and he said, "You look like we could attack you!" Then the butter came over to popcorn man and started to rub his body on Popcorn Man. "Stop attacking me!" said Popcorn Man, and he ran off the table.

Then the butter and the salt jumped off too, and they ran around the kitchen chasing Popcorn Man. Finally the salt and butter attacked Popcorn Man and Popcorn Man said, "You feel good! I think you should live with me."

And that's how people first found out about having salt and butter on popcorn.
