“Wow!” Sheila said, “That’s what I call   18   !”

The next morning, Sheila opened her lunch bag and looked inside. Sure enough, she found another   19   . But when she opened the bag at lunchtime in the dining hall, she discovered a piece of pizza, an orange, and a cake.

“My lunch bag  20   be magic,” Sheila said.

“There’s no such thing as magic,” her friend Douglas  21   .

“There is,” Sheila said. “My mother   22   packs me a sandwich. But ever since I got this new lunch bag, the sandwich has changed into something I like.”

“Maybe your mother’s packing   23   things for a change.”

“You are not the   25   one with a magic lunch bag,” Beatrice said, turning around from the table behind her. “I have one, too. See? This is my magic bag.”
