Sammy never read "the taxi that hurried". His favorite is "Arnie, the doughnut". A rather silly story about a doughnut who narrowly escapes his doughnut fate. Arnie is proud to be chocolate-covered, with bright-colored candy sprinkles. His first day on the planet is a big one. He is 1) cut into a ring 2) deep-fried 3) cooled 4) iced 5) sprinkled and 6) named Arnie. What he doesn't realize is that step 7 is being eaten by a human. So, when a customer, Mr. Bing, starts to put him in his mouth, he screams, "What are you doing?" Mr. Bing decides that in order to get his money's worth from Arnie he can pretend the doughnut is the dog he's always wanted--a doughnut-dog that will roll over and play fetch.
Ever since reading about Arnie, Sammy likes to have sprinkled donuts for breakfast. Dunkin' Donuts or Krispy Kreme. Either brand is fine, as long as there are plenty of sprinkles.
