(Fairy Godmother organizes all the sandwiches in a stack, all the chips, etc. desegregating all the lunches into groupings. She holds up the last sandwich baggie, different from all the rest. It contains a single cookie.)
BO: Ah, okay. It looks like we have a cookie in this one.
I took Ronnie's math reward cookie that he worked so hard on ... good job Ronnie on that Oreo (cue applause) ... then I crushed it; then each of you came up to the front and I dropped a cookie bit in your mouth and let you sip from the communal milk cup.
See how that works? I have taken one cookie and turned it into 30.
Amy: But what about the leftover crumbs?
BO: I've pocketed those for the special ed class and the ESOL class coming next.
Amy: (no response as her stomach growled)
BO: I'll tell you when the next food item is coming. See up here at the table? There's more than enough for everyone! You'll get your fair share. But first I want you to listen to some stories...that will help distract you...
