Dear Mr. Gold:

I want chicken and rice and French fries for lunch.

Dear Leon:

We could go to Oinkster if you want. They have good chicken and French fries, and the purple yam shakes you like. But I don’t think they have rice.

Noodle 101 has rice, and the cold chicken is delicious.

I don’t want noodles, I want French fries.

Most restaurants have either rice or French fries. You can’t have both.

They eat both French fries and rice in Peru. We could go to a Peruvian restaurant.

You’re right. We can get the wood-roasted chicken at Lola’s Peruvian Restaurant. With French fries, and rice, and bread. 230 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, (818) 956-5888.

Dear Mr. Gold:

And Inka Cola too?

Yes.

Love, Daddy
