The Little Pizza Maker
By Melissa


A long time ago, in a land far away, namely Italy, there lived a little pizza maker with his little wife in his little house with his little family. He made little pizzas, and raised little goats. But the little man had a big problem…nobody in Italy liked pizza yet!

So the little man decided to take his little family and go on a long journey around the country to find out what it was that people wanted to eat. They searched high and low, and finally decided that they’d found all the right ingredients. So the little family went home to bake the first (and last) 100% sugar pizza. Unfortunately, the sugar all burned in the oven, so that idea had to be discarded. The little family couldn’t afford to go on another long trek around the country, so they just opened up the refrigerator (this was after refrigerators) and pulled out everything that was inside…tomato sauce, pepperoni, sausage, olives, cheese…and threw it on the pizza. They advertised it as the “Leftover” pizza, but they were sure that they would have to sell off the children because nobody in their right minds would like it. They prepared to sell Tony, the middle child, since he wasn’t really good for anything anyway. But luckily for them (and especially for Tony), the Leftover pizza was a huge success. The little family was now well on it’s way to financial security, and they all lived happily ever after, except for Tony, who went into counseling and ended up murdering both his parents in their sleep years later. But that’s a whole different story.

The End

The Moral of the Story Is: A cheese fetish can save your family. And middle children are to be feared.
