Jonah was already daydreaming about lunch, but the science class instructor had one last question:
“Jonah, what’s a special feature of a potato?”
“That it’s extremely adaptable.”
“Adaptable how?”
“Fry it, and it becomes fries, chips, or hash browns. Boil it, and it turns into mashed potatoes or soup. Bake it, and it comes out as wedges or stuffed potatoes.”
“And scientifically… what does that show?”
“That no matter how you transform a potato, it eventually becomes something you can eat for lunch.”
