1. How to Make a Cherry Pie and See The World Based on How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World by Marjorie Priceman By Aidan, Danielle, Ben, Madison, and Cassidy in Ms. Mottola’s Library Class

2. Making a cherry 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 plane to China. Find a farm and gather some wheat. An armful or two will do. They have a Grandma Parade in China.

5. Take a train to the Ukraine and locate a chicken. Bring the chicken with you. There’s less chance of breaking the egg that way. Ukrainians eat dessert with a spoon not a fork.

6. Take a helicopter to Ireland and make the acquaintance of a cow. Bring the whole cow with you for the freshest possible results. St. Patrick’s Day is one of Ireland’s national holidays.

7. Take a airplane to Bulgaria. Walk to the nearest sugar beet farm. Introduce yourself to everyone. Then, go into the field and pick some sugar beets. The most popular sport in Bulgaria is soccer.

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

9. Wait a minute! Aren’t you forgetting something? What about the cherries? Have the pilot drop you off in Belgium. Belgium’s chocolates and waffles are famous.

10. Get to the nearest cherry tree. Pick a few cherries. 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 cherries, mix the ingredients, and bake the pie. While the pie is cooling, invite some friends over to share it with you.

12. Remember that cherry 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!
