BIG DAY, TODAY WAS!

Schmoop came scurrying inside the kitchen. His arms were wrapped around trays of eggs, packs of chocolate chips, and bags of flour and sugar. He looked around at his elf friends, eyes lit with excitement and delight.

"COOKIES, SCHMOOP BAKES!" The elf did a happy dance, ingredients on his arms bouncing up and down. "Schmoop bakes for studentsies and masterses and mistresses!"

Schmoop dumped the ingredients on the nearest table.
