Fat Mr. Lentil

We sat down to a nice dinner of lentils and pumpkin that Oma made this week. After a few bites Malcolm was bouncing out of his seat to tell us something. We couldn't figure out what he wanted to say, so he got up, ran into the bathroom and came back with his "Old MacDonald had an Apartment Building" book. In the book, Mr. MacDonald is the manager of an apartment building and as the tenants move out he fills their rooms with vegetable gardens. We recalled him growing tomatoes, carrots, and beans, but couldn't remember anything about lentils. I started reading the book anyway and when I got to the part where the building's owner, Fat Mr. Wrental, was introduced, Malcolm had a big grin and was pointing excitedly to his plate.
