She knew it was important -because he was making a mess and talking to himself. The sink drain -was loaded down with open soda bottles, a sack of flour, corn meal, -dog biscuits, molasses, Bromo-Seltzer, a tin of sardines and a box of -soap chips. The floor was covered with drippings and every cupboard in -the kitchen was open. At the moment, Bonnie's brother was putting all -his energy into shaking a plastic juicer that was half-filled with an -ominous-looking, frothy mixture.</p> - -<p>Bonnie waited for a moment, keeping well out of range, and then said, -"Hi, Bob."</p> - -<p>"Lo," he answered, without looking up.</p> - -<p>"Where's Mom?"</p> - -<p>"Shopping."</p> - -<p>Bonnie inched a little closer. "What are you doing, Bob?" she asked.</p> - -<p>"Nothing."</p> - -<p>"Can I watch?"</p> - -<p>"No."</p> - -<p>Bonnie took this as a cue to advance two cautious steps. She knew from -experience how close she could approach her brother when he was being -creative and still maintain a peaceful neutrality. Bob slopped a cupful -of ketchup into the juicer, added a can of powdered mustard, a drop of -milk, six aspirin and a piece of chewing gum, being careful to spill a -part of each package used.</p> - -<p>Bonnie moved in a bit closer. "Are you making another experiment?" she -asked.</p> - -<p>"Who wants to know?" Bob answered, in his mad-scientist voice, as he -swaggered over to the refrigerator and took out an egg, some old bacon -fat, a capsuled vitamin pill, yesterday's Jello and a bottle of clam -juice.</p> - -<p>"Me wants to know," said Bonnie, picking up an apple that had rolled -out of the refrigerator and fallen on the floor.</p> - -<p>"Why should I tell you?"</p> - -<p>"I have a quarter."</p> - -<p>"Where'd you get it?"</p> - -<p>"Mom gave it to me."</p> - -<p>"If you give it to me, I'll tell you what I'm doing."</p> - -<p>"It's not worth it."</p> - -<p>"I'll let you be my assistant, too."</p> - -<p>"Still not worth it."</p> - -<p>"For ten cents?"</p> - -<p>"Okay, ten cents."</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>She counted out the money to her brother and put on an apron. "What -should I do now, Bob?"</p> - -<p>"Get the salt," Bob instructed.</p> - -<p>He poured sardine oil from the can into the juicer, being very careful -not to let the sardines fall in. When he had squeezed the last drop of -oil out of the can, he ate all the sardines and tossed the can into the -sink.</p> - -<p>Bonnie went after the salt and, when she lifted out the box, she found -a package containing two chocolate graham crackers.</p> - -<p>"Mom has a new hiding place, Bob," she announced.</p> - -<p>Bob looked up. "Where is it?"</p> - -<p>"Behind the salt."</p> - -<p>"What did you find there?"</p> - -<p>"Two chocolate grahams."</p> - -<p>Bobby held out his hand, accepted one of the crackers without thanks -and proceeded to crumble the whole thing into his concoction, not even -stopping to lick the chocolate off his hands.</p> - -<p>Bonnie frowned in disbelief. She had never seen such self-sacrifice. -The act made her aware, for the first time, of the immense -significance of the experiment.</p> - -<p>She dropped her quarrel completely and walked over to the sink to get -a good look at what was being done. All she saw in the sink was a -wadded, wet Corn Flake box, the empty sardine tin and spillings from -the juicer, which by this time was beginning to take on a distinctive -and unpleasant odor. Bob gave Bonnie the job of adding seven pinches of -salt and some cocoa to the concoction.</p> - -<p>"What's it going to be, Bob?" she asked, blending the cocoa on her -hands into her yellow corduroy skirt.</p> - -<p>"Stuff," Bob answered, unbending a little.</p> - -<p>"Government stuff?"</p> - -<p>"Nope."</p> - -<p>"Spaceship stuff?"</p> - -<p>"Nope."</p> - -<p>"Medicine?"</p> - -<p>"Nope."</p> - -<p>"I give up."</p> - -<p>"It's animal serum," Bob said, sliced his thumb on the sardine can, -glanced unemotionally at the cut, ignored it.</p> - -<p>"What's animal serum, Bob?"</p> - -<p>"It's certain properties without which the universe in eternity regards -for human beings."</p> - -<p>"Oh," Bonnie said. She took off her apron and sat down at the other end -of the kitchen. The smell from the juicer was beginning to reach her -stomach.</p> - -<p>Bobby combed the kitchen for something else to throw into his -concoction and came up with some oregano and liquid garlic.</p> - -<p>"I guess this is about it," he said.</p> - -<p>He poured the garlic and oregano into his juicer, put the lid on, shook -it furiously for a minute and then emptied the contents into a deep pot.</p> - -<p>"What are you doing now, Bob?" Bonnie asked.</p> - -<p>"You have to cook it for seven minutes."</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>Bobby lit the stove, put a cover on the pot, set the timer for ten -minutes and left the room. Bonnie tagged after him and the two of them -got involved in a rough game of basketball in the living room.</p> - -<p>"BING!" said the timer.</p> - -<p>Bob dropped the basketball on Bonnie's head and ran back into the -kitchen.</p> - -<p>"It's all done," he said, and took the cover off the pot. Only his -dedication to his work kept him from showing the discomfort he felt -with the smell that the pot gave forth.</p> - -<p>"Fyew!" said Bonnie. "What do we do with it now? Throw it out?"</p> - -<p>"No, stupid. We have to stir it till it cools and then drink it."</p> - -<p>"Drink it?" Bonnie wrinkled her nose. "How come we have to drink it?"</p> - -<p>Bobby said, "Because that's what you do with experiments, stupid."</p> - -<p>"But, Bob, it smells like garbage."</p> - -<p>"Medicine smells worse and it makes you healthy," Bob said, while -stirring the pot with an old wooden spoon.</p> - -<p>Bonnie held her nose, stood on tiptoe and looked in at the cooking -solution. "Will this make us healthy?"</p> - -<p>"Maybe." Bob kept stirring.</p> - -<p>"What will it do?"</p> - -<p>"You'll see." Bob took two clean dish towels, draped them around the -pot and carried it over to the formica kitchen table. In the process, -he managed to dip both towels in the mixture and burn his already -sliced thumb. One plastic handle of the pot was still smoldering, from -being too near the fire, but none of these things seemed to have the -slightest effect on him. He put the pot down in the middle of the table -and stared at it, chin in hand.</p> - -<p>Bonnie plopped down opposite him, put her chin in her hands and asked, -"We <i>have</i> to drink that stuff?"</p> - -<p>"Yup."</p> - -<p>"Who has to drink it first?" Bob made no sign of having heard. "I -thought so," said Bonnie. Still no comment. "What if it kills me?"</p> - -<p>Bobby spoke by raising his whole head and keeping his jaw stationary -in his hands. "How can it hurt you? There's nothing but pure food in -there."</p> - -<p>Bonnie also sat and stared. "How much of that stuff do I have to drink?"</p> - -<p>"Just a little bit. Stick one finger in it and lick it off."</p> - -<p>Bonnie pointed a cautious finger at the tarry-looking brew and slowly -immersed it, until it barely covered the nail. "Is that enough?"</p> - -<p>"Plenty," said Bob in a judicious tone.</p> - -<p>Bonnie took her finger out of the pot and stared at it for a moment. -"What if I get sick?"</p> - -<p>"You can't get sick. There's aspirin and vitamins in it, too."</p> - -<p>Bonnie sighed and wrinkled her nose. "Well, here goes," she said. She -licked off a little bit.</p> - -<p>Bob watched her with his television version of a scientific look. "How -do you feel?" he inquired.</p> - -<p>Bonnie answered, "It's not so bad, once it goes down. You can taste the -chocolate graham cracker." Bonnie was really enjoying the attention. -"Hey," she said, "I'm starting to get a funny feeling in my—" and, -before she could finish the sentence, there was a loud <i>pop</i>.</p> - -<p>Bob's face registered extreme disappointment.</p> - -<p>She sat quite still for a moment and then said, "What happened?"</p> - -<p>"You've turned into a chicken."</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>The little bird lifted its wings and looked down at itself. "How come -I'm a chicken, Bob?" it said, cocking its head to one side and staring -at him with its left eye.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="figcenter"> - <img src="images/illus.jpg" width="342" height="500" alt=""/> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p>"Ah, nuts," he explained. "I expected you to be more of a pigeon -thing." Bob mulled over the ingredients of his stew to see what went -wrong.</p> - -<p>The chicken hopped around the chair on one leg, flapped its wings -experimentally and found itself on the kitchen table. It walked to the -far corner and peered into a small mirror that hung on the side of the -sink cabinet.</p> - -<p>"I'm a pretty ugly chicken, boy," it said.</p> - -<p>It inspected itself with its other eye and, finding no improvement, -walked back to Bobby.</p> - -<p>"I don't like to be a chicken, Bob," it said.</p> - -<p>"Why not? What does it feel like?"</p> - -<p>"It feels skinny and I can't see so good."</p> - -<p>"How else does it feel?"</p> - -<p>"That's all how it feels. Make me stop being it."</p> - -<p>"First tell me better what it's like."</p> - -<p>"I told you already. Make me stop being it."</p> - -<p>"What are you afraid of? Why don't you see what it's like first, before -you change back? This is a valuable experience."</p> - -<p>The chicken tried to put its hands on its hips, but could find neither -hips nor hands. "You better change me back, boy," it said, and gave Bob -the left-eye glare.</p> - -<p>"Will you stop being stupid and just see what it's like first?" Bob was -finding it difficult to understand her lack of curiosity.</p> - -<p>"Wait till Mom sees what an ugly mess I am, boy. Will you ever get it!" -Bonnie was trying very hard to see Bob with both eyes at once, which -was impossible.</p> - -<p>"You're a sissy, Bonnie. You ruined the opportunity of a lifetime. I'm -disgusted with you." Bob dipped his forefinger in the serum and held it -toward the chicken. It pecked what it could from the finger and tilted -its head back.</p> - -<p>In an instant, the chicken was gone and Bonnie was back. She climbed -down from the table, wiped her eyes and said, "It's a good thing you -fixed me, boy. Would you ever have got it."</p> - -<p>"Ah, you're nothing but a sissy," Bob said, and licked off a whole -fingerful of his formula. "If I change into a horse, I won't let you -ride me, and if I change into a leopard, I'll bite your head off." Once -again, the loud <i>pop</i> was heard.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>Bonnie stood up, wide-eyed. "Oh, Bob," she said, "you're beautiful!"</p> - -<p>"What am I?" Bob asked.</p> - -<p>"You're a bee-yoo-tee-full St. Bernard, Bob! Let's go show Melissa and -Chuck."</p> - -<p>"A St. Bernard?" The animal looked disgusted. "I don't want to be no -dog. I want to be a leopard."</p> - -<p>"But you're <i>beautiful</i>, Bob! Go look in the mirror."</p> - -<p>"Naah." The dog paddled over to the table.</p> - -<p>"What are you going to do, Bob?"</p> - -<p>"I'm going to try it again."</p> - -<p>The dog put its front paws on the table, knocked over the serum and -lapped up some as it dripped on the floor. <i>Pop</i> went the serum, taking -effect. Bobby remained on all fours and kept on lapping. <i>Pop</i> went the -serum again.</p> - -<p>"What am I now?" he asked.</p> - -<p>"You're still a St. Bernard," said Bonnie.</p> - -<p>"The devil with it then," said the dog. "Let's forget all about it."</p> - -<p>The dog took one last lap of serum. <i>Pop!</i> Bobby got up from the floor -and dejectedly started out the back door. Bonnie skipped after him.</p> - -<p>"What'll we do now, Bob?" she asked.</p> - -<p>"We'll go down to Thrifty's and get some ice cream."</p> - -<p>They walked down the hill silently, Bobby brooding over not having -been a leopard and Bonnie wishing he had stayed a St. Bernard. As they -approached the main street of the small town, Bonnie turned to her -brother.</p> - -<p>"You want to make some more of that stuff tomorrow?"</p> - -<p>"Not the same stuff," said Bob.</p> - -<p>"What'll we make instead?"</p> - -<p>"I ain't decided yet."</p> - -<p>"You want to make an atomic bomb?"</p> - -<p>"Maybe."</p> - -<p>"Can we do it in the juicer?"</p> - -<p>"Sure," Bob said, "only we'll have to get a couple of onions."</p> - - - - - - - - -<pre> - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of People Soup, by Alan Arkin - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK PEOPLE SOUP *** - -***** This file should be named 51397-h.htm or 51397-h.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/1/3/9/51397/ - -Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.

She knew it was important -because he was making a mess and talking to himself. The sink drain -was loaded down with open soda bottles, a sack of flour, corn meal, -dog biscuits, molasses, Bromo-Seltzer, a tin of sardines and a box of -soap chips. The floor was covered with drippings and every cupboard in -the kitchen was open. At the moment, Bonnie's brother was putting all -his energy into shaking a plastic juicer that was half-filled with an -ominous-looking, frothy mixture. - -Bonnie waited for a moment, keeping well out of range, and then said, -"Hi, Bob." - -"Lo," he answered, without looking up. - -"Where's Mom?" - -"Shopping." - -Bonnie inched a little closer. "What are you doing, Bob?" she asked. - -"Nothing." - -"Can I watch?" - -"No." - -Bonnie took this as a cue to advance two cautious steps. She knew from -experience how close she could approach her brother when he was being -creative and still maintain a peaceful neutrality. Bob slopped a cupful -of ketchup into the juicer, added a can of powdered mustard, a drop of -milk, six aspirin and a piece of chewing gum, being careful to spill a -part of each package used. - -Bonnie moved in a bit closer. "Are you making another experiment?" she -asked. - -"Who wants to know?" Bob answered, in his mad-scientist voice, as he -swaggered over to the refrigerator and took out an egg, some old bacon -fat, a capsuled vitamin pill, yesterday's Jello and a bottle of clam -juice. - -"Me wants to know," said Bonnie, picking up an apple that had rolled -out of the refrigerator and fallen on the floor. - -"Why should I tell you?" - -"I have a quarter." - -"Where'd you get it?" - -"Mom gave it to me." - -"If you give it to me, I'll tell you what I'm doing." - -"It's not worth it." - -"I'll let you be my assistant, too." - -"Still not worth it." - -"For ten cents?" - -"Okay, ten cents." - - * * * * * - -She counted out the money to her brother and put on an apron. "What -should I do now, Bob?" - -"Get the salt," Bob instructed. - -He poured sardine oil from the can into the juicer, being very careful -not to let the sardines fall in. When he had squeezed the last drop of -oil out of the can, he ate all the sardines and tossed the can into the -sink. - -Bonnie went after the salt and, when she lifted out the box, she found -a package containing two chocolate graham crackers. - -"Mom has a new hiding place, Bob," she announced. - -Bob looked up. "Where is it?" - -"Behind the salt." - -"What did you find there?" - -"Two chocolate grahams." - -Bobby held out his hand, accepted one of the crackers without thanks -and proceeded to crumble the whole thing into his concoction, not even -stopping to lick the chocolate off his hands. - -Bonnie frowned in disbelief. She had never seen such self-sacrifice. -The act made her aware, for the first time, of the immense -significance of the experiment. - -She dropped her quarrel completely and walked over to the sink to get -a good look at what was being done. All she saw in the sink was a -wadded, wet Corn Flake box, the empty sardine tin and spillings from -the juicer, which by this time was beginning to take on a distinctive -and unpleasant odor. Bob gave Bonnie the job of adding seven pinches of -salt and some cocoa to the concoction. - -"What's it going to be, Bob?" she asked, blending the cocoa on her -hands into her yellow corduroy skirt. - -"Stuff," Bob answered, unbending a little. - -"Government stuff?" - -"Nope." - -"Spaceship stuff?" - -"Nope." - -"Medicine?" - -"Nope." - -"I give up." - -"It's animal serum," Bob said, sliced his thumb on the sardine can, -glanced unemotionally at the cut, ignored it. - -"What's animal serum, Bob?" - -"It's certain properties without which the universe in eternity regards -for human beings." - -"Oh," Bonnie said. She took off her apron and sat down at the other end -of the kitchen. The smell from the juicer was beginning to reach her -stomach. - -Bobby combed the kitchen for something else to throw into his -concoction and came up with some oregano and liquid garlic. - -"I guess this is about it," he said. - -He poured the garlic and oregano into his juicer, put the lid on, shook -it furiously for a minute and then emptied the contents into a deep pot. - -"What are you doing now, Bob?" Bonnie asked. - -"You have to cook it for seven minutes." - - * * * * * - -Bobby lit the stove, put a cover on the pot, set the timer for ten -minutes and left the room. Bonnie tagged after him and the two of them -got involved in a rough game of basketball in the living room. - -"BING!" said the timer. - -Bob dropped the basketball on Bonnie's head and ran back into the -kitchen. - -"It's all done," he said, and took the cover off the pot. Only his -dedication to his work kept him from showing the discomfort he felt -with the smell that the pot gave forth. - -"Fyew!" said Bonnie. "What do we do with it now? Throw it out?" - -"No, stupid. We have to stir it till it cools and then drink it." - -"Drink it?" Bonnie wrinkled her nose. "How come we have to drink it?" - -Bobby said, "Because that's what you do with experiments, stupid." - -"But, Bob, it smells like garbage." - -"Medicine smells worse and it makes you healthy," Bob said, while -stirring the pot with an old wooden spoon. - -Bonnie held her nose, stood on tiptoe and looked in at the cooking -solution. "Will this make us healthy?" - -"Maybe." Bob kept stirring. - -"What will it do?" - -"You'll see." Bob took two clean dish towels, draped them around the -pot and carried it over to the formica kitchen table. In the process, -he managed to dip both towels in the mixture and burn his already -sliced thumb. One plastic handle of the pot was still smoldering, from -being too near the fire, but none of these things seemed to have the -slightest effect on him. He put the pot down in the middle of the table -and stared at it, chin in hand. - -Bonnie plopped down opposite him, put her chin in her hands and asked, -"We _have_ to drink that stuff?" - -"Yup." - -"Who has to drink it first?" Bob made no sign of having heard. "I -thought so," said Bonnie. Still no comment. "What if it kills me?" - -Bobby spoke by raising his whole head and keeping his jaw stationary -in his hands. "How can it hurt you? There's nothing but pure food in -there." - -Bonnie also sat and stared. "How much of that stuff do I have to drink?" - -"Just a little bit. Stick one finger in it and lick it off." - -Bonnie pointed a cautious finger at the tarry-looking brew and slowly -immersed it, until it barely covered the nail. "Is that enough?" - -"Plenty," said Bob in a judicious tone. - -Bonnie took her finger out of the pot and stared at it for a moment. -"What if I get sick?" - -"You can't get sick. There's aspirin and vitamins in it, too." - -Bonnie sighed and wrinkled her nose. "Well, here goes," she said. She -licked off a little bit. - -Bob watched her with his television version of a scientific look. "How -do you feel?" he inquired. - -Bonnie answered, "It's not so bad, once it goes down. You can taste the -chocolate graham cracker." Bonnie was really enjoying the attention. -"Hey," she said, "I'm starting to get a funny feeling in my--" and, -before she could finish the sentence, there was a loud _pop_. - -Bob's face registered extreme disappointment. - -She sat quite still for a moment and then said, "What happened?" - -"You've turned into a chicken." - - * * * * * - -The little bird lifted its wings and looked down at itself. "How come -I'm a chicken, Bob?" it said, cocking its head to one side and staring -at him with its left eye. - -"Ah, nuts," he explained. "I expected you to be more of a pigeon -thing." Bob mulled over the ingredients of his stew to see what went -wrong. - -The chicken hopped around the chair on one leg, flapped its wings -experimentally and found itself on the kitchen table. It walked to the -far corner and peered into a small mirror that hung on the side of the -sink cabinet. - -"I'm a pretty ugly chicken, boy," it said. - -It inspected itself with its other eye and, finding no improvement, -walked back to Bobby. - -"I don't like to be a chicken, Bob," it said. - -"Why not? What does it feel like?" - -"It feels skinny and I can't see so good." - -"How else does it feel?" - -"That's all how it feels. Make me stop being it." - -"First tell me better what it's like." - -"I told you already. Make me stop being it." - -"What are you afraid of? Why don't you see what it's like first, before -you change back? This is a valuable experience." - -The chicken tried to put its hands on its hips, but could find neither -hips nor hands. "You better change me back, boy," it said, and gave Bob -the left-eye glare. - -"Will you stop being stupid and just see what it's like first?" Bob was -finding it difficult to understand her lack of curiosity. - -"Wait till Mom sees what an ugly mess I am, boy. Will you ever get it!" -Bonnie was trying very hard to see Bob with both eyes at once, which -was impossible. - -"You're a sissy, Bonnie. You ruined the opportunity of a lifetime. I'm -disgusted with you." Bob dipped his forefinger in the serum and held it -toward the chicken. It pecked what it could from the finger and tilted -its head back. - -In an instant, the chicken was gone and Bonnie was back. She climbed -down from the table, wiped her eyes and said, "It's a good thing you -fixed me, boy. Would you ever have got it." - -"Ah, you're nothing but a sissy," Bob said, and licked off a whole -fingerful of his formula. "If I change into a horse, I won't let you -ride me, and if I change into a leopard, I'll bite your head off." Once -again, the loud _pop_ was heard. - - * * * * * - -Bonnie stood up, wide-eyed. "Oh, Bob," she said, "you're beautiful!" - -"What am I?" Bob asked. - -"You're a bee-yoo-tee-full St. Bernard, Bob! Let's go show Melissa and -Chuck." - -"A St. Bernard?" The animal looked disgusted. "I don't want to be no -dog. I want to be a leopard." - -"But you're _beautiful_, Bob! Go look in the mirror." - -"Naah." The dog paddled over to the table. - -"What are you going to do, Bob?" - -"I'm going to try it again." - -The dog put its front paws on the table, knocked over the serum and -lapped up some as it dripped on the floor. _Pop_ went the serum, taking -effect. Bobby remained on all fours and kept on lapping. _Pop_ went the -serum again. - -"What am I now?" he asked. - -"You're still a St. Bernard," said Bonnie. - -"The devil with it then," said the dog. "Let's forget all about it." - -The dog took one last lap of serum. _Pop!_ Bobby got up from the floor -and dejectedly started out the back door. Bonnie skipped after him. - -"What'll we do now, Bob?" she asked. - -"We'll go down to Thrifty's and get some ice cream." - -They walked down the hill silently, Bobby brooding over not having -been a leopard and Bonnie wishing he had stayed a St. Bernard. As they -approached the main street of the small town, Bonnie turned to her -brother. - -"You want to make some more of that stuff tomorrow?" - -"Not the same stuff," said Bob. - -"What'll we make instead?" - -"I ain't decided yet." - -"You want to make an atomic bomb?" - -"Maybe." - -"Can we do it in the juicer?" - -"Sure," Bob said, "only we'll have to get a couple of onions." - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of People Soup, by Alan Arkin - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK PEOPLE SOUP *** - -***** This file should be named 51397.txt or 51397.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/1/3/9/51397/ - -Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.
