1. How to Make a Key Lime Pie and See The World Based on How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World by Marjorie Priceman By Evan, Haley, John, Peter, and Chiara in Ms. Mottola’s Library Class

2. Making a key lime pie is really very easy. First, get all of the ingredients at the market. Mix them well, bake, and serve.

3. Unless of course, the market is closed.

4. In that case, go home and pack a suitcase. Take a teleporter to Morocco. Find a farm and gather some wheat. An armful or two will do. Moroccans play card games, marbles, and chess.

5. Take a boat to The Netherlands and locate a chicken. Bring the chicken with you. There’s less chance of breaking the egg that way. In The Netherlands, they have small but close families.

6. Take a jetpack to Iceland and make the acquaintance of a cow. Bring the whole cow with you for the freshest possible results. They like to go hiking, fishing, skiing and horseback riding in Iceland.

7. Take a train to Sweden. Walk to the nearest sugar beet farm. Introduce yourself to everyone. Then, go into the field and pick some sugar beets. Soccer is a favorite summertime sport.

8. Better fly home. You don’t want the ingredients to spoil.

9. Wait a minute! Aren’t you forgetting something? What about the limes? Have the pilot drop you off in Brazil. Children in Brazil often must work to support their families.

10. Get to the nearest lime tree. Pick a few limes. Give one to the chicken, one to the cow, and eat one yourself. Hurry home, stopping at Jones Beach to pick up a jar of salty seawater.

11. Now all you have to do is mill the wheat into flour, evaporate the seawater from the salt, boil the sugar, persuade the chicken to lay an egg, milk the cow, churn the milk into butter, slice the limes, mix the ingredients, and bake the pie. While the pie is cooling, invite some friends over to share it with you.

12. Remember that key lime pie tastes delicious topped with vanilla ice cream, which you can get at the market. But if the market happens to be closed…

13. YOU CAN EAT IT PLAIN!
