(In the living room)
Help yourself to some fortune cookies.
Have you ever tried them before?
No, I haven’t.
Really?
They’re very popular and have been in the USA since the early 1900s.
That’s right.
They’ve been an important part of American food culture for a long time.
Here, break one and try it.
What’s this small piece of paper inside?
Oh, that’s your fortune.
Go on! Read it.
It says, “You’ve already gone through the worst part of your life.”
Wow! How did the cookie know that?
My sentence says, “All roads lead to Rome.”
Why did the cookie say that?
I’ve never been to Rome.
Come on, Peter. This is fun.
Are there any more fortunes?
Sure, but you’ll have to eat up all the cookies first.
That shouldn’t be a problem because I haven’t had lunch yet.
