well what a day it had been
orbee wore pretend glasses with a fake
nose but
everybody still knew who he was katie
dropped her tissue paper parachute
through the banister
and it landed right on top of dad's head
and they both drew such funny pictures
of each other that mom laughed
actually today was a rather special day
katie wanted to make the lunch while mom
sat in the couch and relaxed
mom thought it was a lovely idea and
agreed in a minute
katie brought her glasses the new book
she was reading and a big tall glass of
orange juice
mom told them absolutely not to touch a
knife because knives are dangerous
and not to use the stove they must call
her
if they needed help with those things
katie and orbee agreed
i'll wait for my surprise lunch with
delicious anticipation mom told them as
she
licked her lips she picked up her book
and began to read
in the kitchen katie and orbee whispered
about what delicious things they could
make
they thought of making pork chops and
they thought of making
peanut butter sandwich people with
cookie cutter
but finally orbee had a wonderful idea
pizza katie loved it and luckily
mom loved pizza too katie washed her
hands and counted what things go in a
pizza
one katie said we need a pizza crust two
we need tomato sauce
then we need cheese then we need
everything else katie and orbee hunted
for the pizza crust
it wasn't in the fridge and it wasn't in
the jam cupboard
and it wasn't even in the bread box
mom heard some cupboards opening and
closing and she called to see if she
could help
all she heard was giggles and uh
shuffling sound
there were no pizza crusts katie told
orbee that mama always said that a good
cook improvises
or being made all kinds of
i don't know what that is noises so
katie told him it meant that a good cook
makes it a different way if they don't
have some of the right stuff
that was when orbee thought of bread
bread
was almost sort of in a way like crust
and it had a crust on it
so here's what they did they took the
pizza pan
from the oven drawer which was safe
because the oven was not turned on
then they took a loaf of bread from the
bread box
and then put the bread in circles on the
pizza pan
they stuck one in the middle to cover
the hole
i'll bet you know that this made a bump
in the middle but katie told orbee that
when you're improvising a bump was okay
orbee looked to katie and snortled with
a smile
i'm glad you're my friend because you
know everything
katie started hunting for the tomato
sauce
the tomato sauce wasn't in the fridge
it wasn't in the spice rack and although
chance thought it was near her treat box
it wasn't orbee gave chance a treat
anyway for trying to help
when katie opened the vegetable drawer
her eyes lit right up
she told orbee that they would have to
improvise again and she pulled out
four fat tomatoes this was a very smart
thing
to do because tomato sauce comes from
tomatoes
orbee wanted to wash the tomatoes
because you always wash things that are
grown
so orbee pulled a chair over to the sink
and started washing right away
i don't think he knew that you don't
wash vegetables with soap but
luckily he rinsed them with lots of cold
water and all the soap came off
katie said he did a great job and orbee
just glowed
now the problem was that katie and orbee
didn't want to ask
mom anything until they were done and
the time had come to cut the tomatoes
orbee opened up the knife drawer and
looked in
they looked at each other and then katie
had another idea
what about the juicer they used to make
lemonade
it wasn't a knife and it wouldn't cut
them katie pulled it out
orbee put the tomato on the top of the
glass juicer bowl and pushed down
nothing happened the tomato didn't do
anything
katie told orbee that dad twisted it so
orbee twisted it and
splat and there went the tomato
she took the pierced tomato off and put
it on the bread pizza crust
and she opened it up with her fingers
and laid it out like a flower
when all the tomatoes were on the crust
katie headed back to the fridge for
cheese
they couldn't cut the white cheese but
the orange squares didn't need any work
so they used them
the pizza was starting to look good
orbee was trying to decide what else
they would put on top
orbee loved spaghetti so he took some
out of the box and stuck it on top of
the cheese pieces
katie didn't think that spaghetti went
on pizza
but orbee reminded her that they were
improvising
now this is where everything started to
fall apart you see katie loved peaches
and she thought that if they were
improvising peaches
would probably be a yummy thing to add
orbee pointed out that lettuce was very
good for you
and he put that on top too then
mayonnaise
katie blobbed some on top and then orbee
wanted ice cream but katy reminded him
that it would melt
so instead he topped the mayonnaise off
with chocolate
chips the word chips made katie think of
potato chips
and she thought they might be delicious
on the pizza too so she added
some of them then she thought they had
better add something that was good for
them so
she opened up the fridge and there was
mom's jaw
chopped vegetables katie took out some
carrots and some
celery and put them on top now they
needed something to hold
the whole thing together because as you
can imagine things were
starting to fall off the big bump and
slide down orbee had a great idea
peanut butter was very sticky and would
work
perfectly they stuck the pizza together
with peanut butter
and finally it was done katie and orbee
thought it looked like the very
best pizza in the whole world
they called mom in to put it in the oven
because that's what you do with pizza
and mom hurry then
well mom stopped short when she saw it
and she didn't quite know what to say
for a minute and then
she turned on the oven and put their
wonderful pizza in
katie and orbee could barely wait for it
to be ready
mom set the timer and they both watched
it until orbeez eyes crossed
and finally it binged the lettuce was
all dry and crackly
and the peanut butter and vegetables
sort of slid apart
but mom cut it up as best she could and
put it on a plate
she told them that it smelled delicious
and she took a
big bite which was brave
and she smiled and said not bad
katie and orbee took a bite right away
and decided it was not bad too
they all agreed that the next time they
would leave out the peanut butter
chocolate chips potato chips peaches
and spaghetti which was still a bit
crunchy and the carrots and the celery
and you know that the next pizza they
made
really was the best pizza ever
did you know you know
[Music]
did you know you can make your own
rainbow on a sunny day
squirt a fine mist of water from your
garden hose
and watch the colors appear
rainbows are fun but they only last as
long as the water does
