The Butter Man

Have you ever told your mother, "I'm starving!" Those are the words of Nora whose father is cooking some wonderful food. When he hears that Nora doesn't want to wait to eat, he tells her a story about when he was a boy in Morocco. In the story a drought comesto their farm, and his father has to leave to go get food for the family. While he is away, the bread portions get smaller and smaller, and the butter jar gets empty. One day when he asks his mother for butter, she tells him to go outside and wait for 'the Butter Man.'
