Nora said,

"Pomegranate,"

and then we laughed

for at least two minutes,

pausing only to breathe.

Taking a deep breath before

finishing, she told the rest of the

story of the "exciting" princess named

Jasmine and the amazing "pomegranate" fruit.

She began classically ("Once upon a time there was

a girl named...") and ended just as classically:

"THE END!"
