1. How to Make a Sweet Potato Pie and See The World Based on How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World by Marjorie Priceman By Patrick, Mike, Savannah, Sean, and Samantha in Ms. Mottola’s Library Class.

2. Making a sweet potato pie is really very easy. First, get all of the ingredients at the market. Mix them well, bake, and serve.

3. Unless of course, the market is closed.

4. In that case, go home and pack a suitcase. Take a kangaroo to Bulgaria. Find a farm and gather some wheat. An armful or two will do. There are about four thousand mapped caves in Bulgaria.

5. Take a plane to Austria and locate a chicken. Bring the chicken with you. There’s less chance of breaking the egg that way. The capital of Austria is Vienna.

6. Take a boat to Iceland and make the acquaintance of a cow. Bring the whole cow with you for the freshest possible results. The highest point in Iceland is a 6,952 feet. It is called Hvannadalshnukur.

7. Take a golf cart to Vietnam. Walk to the nearest sugar plantation. Introduce yourself to everyone. Then, go into the field and cut some stalks of sugar. They have oxen.

8. Better fly home. You don’t want the ingredients to spoil.

9. Wait a minute! Aren’t you forgetting something? What about the sweet potatoes? Have the pilot drop you off in Ghana. Children may not look an adult in the eye. It is an act of defiance.

10. Get to the nearest sweet potato farm. Pick a few sweet potatoes. Give one to the chicken, one to the cow, and eat one yourself. Hurry home, stopping at Jones Beach to pick up a jar of salty seawater.

11. Now all you have to do is mill the wheat into flour, evaporate the seawater from the salt, boil the sugar, persuade the chicken to lay an egg, milk the cow, churn the milk into butter, slice the sweet potatoes, mix the ingredients, and bake the pie. While the pie is cooling, invite some friends over to share it with you.

12. Remember that sweet potatoes pie tastes delicious topped with vanilla ice cream, which you can get at the market. But if the market happens to be closed…

13. YOU CAN EAT IT PLAIN!
