Esther planned to make both meat and shrimp fillings for supper, but she didn’t intend to make toomany.
“Jacob, come and help me.” Esther handed the minced meat filling to Jacob and said gently, I’vealready added the seasonings to the filling. Just stir it vigorously in a clockwise direction.”
“Okay.” Jacob had never done housework before and did not even know how to stir the mixtureproperly.
Esther had to stand behind him and patiently taught him how to mix the filling holding his hand.

Esther’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Wow! You found the coin! That’s great! You can make a wish withthis coin now, and I’ll fulfill it.”

“I want to hear a bedtime story,” he said.
Esther hesitated momentarily and said softly, “I’ll tell my son bedtime stories anyway. This doesn’tcount, so you can make another wish.”
