Knarf. "We'll go to the grocery store. It's only a block away.

Pixie McChef smiled. "Thank you very much," he said.

"Only there's no milk." Pixie McChef. "And how can you eat oatmeal without milk?"

Knart and Hanid agreed that nobody, not even hungry Pixies, living in the roots of an Oak Tree in the middle of the park, could possibly eat oatmeal with- out milk.

“And how can I get milk," asked Pixie McChef, "if that Milkman doesn't come?"
