One warm summer day Steve Stone went for a walk in search of rare rocks. As he walked along the shore of a lake, he spotted a nearby restaurant. '' I wonder what kind of food they have here'' he thought as he got closer to the door. Steve Stone was a rock collector who use to go on walks to look for unique rocks. The door of the restaurant was decorated with beautiful rainbow colored rocks. "I have never seen such colorful rocks. Oh how I wish I could add this to my collection" Steve Stone said as he touched the door handle to let himself in. The restaurant was called Yummyland. There were many people there. They were sitting and eating food. Yummyland was located in a town called Shortwood. Steve Stone lived in a town called GreenMountain. GreenMountain was near Shortwood. He loved taking walks and collecting rocks. One day May Gems was working her usual shift at Yummyland when she saw Steve Stone for the first time. May Gems worked as a waitress at the restaurant. She also was the manager. May Gems came to Steve Stone's table and placed a menu in front of him. Steve Stone was sitting at the table closest to the door where he could see those rainbow colored rocks. "Would you like anything to drink?" said May Gems as she stared at him for a minute. Steve Stone said "I would like a cup of coffee. That will be all" "Ok I will return with your drink" said May Gems. With that, she went towards the left side of the restaurant where she processed all the orders. A few minutes later, May Gems returned to Steve Stone's table carrying a coffee mug. The mug was filled three quarters of the way full. "Here is the coffee you ordered" said May Gems as she placed the mug near him on the table. "Thanks" he said as he continued to search for what he wanted to order. After a few more moments, he could stand it no longer. Steve Stone asked "Where did those stones on the door come from?" May Gems was so shocked at the question that she did not reply. In all the years May Gems had managed and worked at Yummyland, no customer had ever asked her about the rocks on the door of the restaurant. She had managed the restaurant for five years without anyone asking about the rocks. After May Gems recovered from being shocked, she said, “I do not know where those stones came from. I have no additional info about them” “Maybe I can help you gain more info about those stones” said Steve Stone. “Ok, you can try to help me. I have been very curious about what those rocks can do” said May Gems. “What do you say we explore the possibilities together?” suggested Steve Stone. “Ok you got yourself a deal” said May Gems. After I close down the restaurant for the night, we can talk”, she added. “I look forward to our conversation later on”, said Steve Stone. “Have you decided what kind of food to order?” May Gems asked. “I would like a small cheese pizza with mushrooms” said Steve Stone. “I will be right back with your pizza. Is there anything else I can get you?” May Gems asked as she headed back to the counter where she looked over the orders. Steve Stone said, “No” After five minutes she went back to Steve Stone’s table carrying a plate containing the pizza with mushrooms he had ordered. After a half hour, Steve Stone finished his food and decided to stay for a little while before leaving Yummyland. He wanted to learn more about the stones on the door. Suddenly, there was a loud crashing sound coming from the back of the restaurant. “Hmmm” said Steve Stone as he stood up to find out what had caused the loud colliding sound. He walked toward the back of the restaurant. When Steve Stone got there, he discovered that there was a hole on a nearby wall and a rock had cracked. From the hole in the wall, water began to flow inward and flood the restaurant. “May Gems, there is a flood!” shouted Steve Stone. May Gems came to where Steve Stone was and saw that water was dripping inward. “Uh oh!” May Gems said in a frantic tone. “We have to get everyone out of here before it is too late” she added. “Wait a minute. All may not be lost. I have an idea” said Steve Stone. “What is it?” questioned May Gems. “What if we take one of those colored stones and use it to plug the hole?” Steve Stone offered. “That is a great idea. Let’s do it” said May Gems. “Ok I will grab the rock” said Steve Stone as he made his way toward the door to take a stone from it. Steve Stone carefully picked out a rock that would not alter the door design too much. He took out his rock cutter from his carrying case and cut the stone out. After a few moments, Steve returned to the flood sight and began to set the rock in place. Minutes later, the water ceased dripping and the restaurant was saved. May Gems thanked Steve Stone for his help. They became best friends.
THE END
