As she did she focused on Cutty, “She has an allergy Mr. Cutty and it is the reason I asked Toddles for the oat flour. I did bring some potion in case anyone else had the same allergy it will help so you can use the wheat flour, but if you wish not to use the potion you my use the oat flour once we get to the activity part.” Her face showed the amusement from Cutty’s next words. “It’s not very nice for you to say what other people will do, but I will take that as you will clean my crystal balls if I make it. “ Standing a table away she tossed the fortune cookie towards Zhara’s mouth. She wasn’t one to not enjoy a little fun, so why not.
“Now that will be the only cookie toss for now. If you all do well the rest of the time, maybe we can have some fun at the end.” She snapped excitedly and moved back to the front of the class listening to all the answers.
She couldn’t help the snap and claps that Simon got, “Very good Simon. It is debated about the invention of fortune cookies and I’m going to discuss that very shortly.” That was the perfect lead way into the rest of the discussion but first,
Turning back to the entire class she picked up another fortune cookie, “Now all of you are correct, these are fortune cookies and inside there are little pieces of paper that give advice, inspirational quotes, lucky numbers, and in some parts of the world chines sayings.” Breaking open the cookie she showed the piece of paper. “Now as Simon said there is debate on where these fun little treats originated from. Since many places in the world have them related to Chinese wouldn’t you think they were made in China?” She beamed looking around the room, [b] “Well they were actually made in Japan. “There version is a bit different with the cookie being bigger and the piece of paper wedged into the bend not fully inside. Though for today we are going to look at the familiar version. This cookie is more popular in America where its served with Chinese food, some other places around the world do it as well, but most of you might have seen them in stores more than at a restaurant.”
She moved back to her work area, “Now as Mr. Grayson asked are they real? How well can they tell a future? That my darling friends is up for debate as well. We don’t know how most of these fortunes are determined so with that most of them are just for fun and shouldn’t be taken too serious. Restaurants don’t know your astrology signs or birth charts to give accurate readings, they haven’t seen your tea leaves nor your palm to know anything about you. So it’s just up to fate and how you interpret them on how well they work out for you as actual fortunes.”
She pulled out a few stack of index parchment and moved around the room dropping them off at each workstation. “How do you think someone could make fortune cookies more accurate or possibly actually speak truth?” This was going to be the fun part she just couldn’t help a few snaps of excitement.
Simon chuckled when the Professor said that she was going to make Cutty clean the crystal balls. Heh. His dormmate had been literally been asking to cleaning those crystal balls by making that comment in the first place. Then Professor Morgan threw the fortune cookie towards Zahra's mouth. Uhh.. Was there a slip of paper in THAT fortune cookie? And was Zahra just going to EAT the paper too? Weird girl. Weird, crazy, loud girl.
OOh, they were going to be briefly discussing the debate of the origin of the cookies. Now this was going to be interesting. They weren't Chinese so why did they give them out at Japanese restaurants? It just made no sense!
AHA! He knew that it HAD been made in Japan. Yes, he did know that. He smiled. He copied down some of the facts that Professor Morgan was telling them about the cookie. Then they moved onto the pieces of wisdom on the slips of paper that were found inside the fortune cookie. Ah, wasn't it all hocus pocus anyway?
How do you think someone could make fortune cookies more accurate or possibly actually speak truth?
Now that was an interesting question. Well the more general it was, the more people would connect to it, right? Simon raised his hand. "
Well by making it more of a general statement it can be applied to multiple people. Though if you had a charm that could change the fortune based on the person who picked it up that could make it more truthful," he explained with a smile playing on his lip.
