Fortune Cookie

Every Friday night, Marcus’s family would order takeout food. They took turns picking a local restaurant. This Friday, it was his little sister Kara’s turn to pick. She chose the nearby Chinese restaurant. Marcus ordered chicken balls with rice.

When Marcus finished eating the last of the rice on his plate, he stood up to bring his empty plate to the counter by the sink.

“Hey, don’t forget about the fortune cookies, Marcus!” his mother said.

“Oh yeah,” thought Marcus—the fortune cookies. The fortunes were always so lame. Most of the time they didn’t even make sense. But his family always made a big deal out of them.

Kara went first. She read it silently and laughed. Then she read it aloud: “Mine says, You will live long enough to open many more fortune cookies.”

Everyone laughed except Marcus.

“I’ll go next,” said his mom excitedly. “You will be hungry again in one hour.” This time Marcus couldn’t help but chuckle.

You will be a superstar karaoke singer,” his dad screamed out. “They know me too well!” he giggled.

Marcus cracked open his cookie and pulled out the little slip of paper. He read it silently. “Marcus, do not read this out loud. Tomorrow, go to the backyard. Take three large steps past the juneberry tree and then one step to the right. Dig a hole 2 metres deep. Don’t tell anyone about this.”

“What does it say, Marcus?” Kara asked.

“Oh, um, it says, “Good things come to those who wait,” He lied.

The next day was Saturday. Marcus woke up at 7 a.m. while everyone was still sleeping. He went to the garage, grabbed a shovel, and headed to the backyard…

Marcus’s whole family loved to sleep in on Saturdays so they where all asleep once he snuck out into the backyard. That also ment that they wouldn’t be able to see or hear him! After 2 hours of digging nothing showed up. Marcus was super tired and wanted to give up. But right as he put his shovel back into the shed his sister came out. “What are you doing Marcus?” Said his sister. “I’m…uh…hmm…digging a hole to burry my um……dinner from last night!” Exclaimed Marcus. “Of course you are! ;) I read your fortune cookie last night. I wanted to come and help you but mom told me to go back to bed….but I’m here now! Let’s find that buried treasure!” She cried. Marcus retrieved the shovel and the two siblings worked together to find whatever was in the ground. After 20minuts of hard works the found a box. “I wonder what’s inside!!” They both wondered. Marcus opened the box and found a little peice of paper. “FREE CHINESE FOOD FOR LIFE!!!!!” They both shouted.
