the great egg souffle caper page 6 by ric gustafson
Dumbfounded, Elnora began to walk back downstairs. When she walked by the back door of the church, she noticed it was ajar. She walked out onto a sidewalk. She quickly looked around. She noticed the young man who had taken the hot dish. He was standing next to a green dumpster across the street.
She quickly walked up to the dumpster. She peeked around the corner. She could not believe what she was seeing. The young man, a young woman and four young children were eating the egg souffle dish as if they hadn't eaten in days.
" What are you doing eating our egg souffle dish?". She pulled out her cell phone to call the police.
" Please don't call". Tears came to the young man's eyes. " You have everything and we have nothing".
Elnora put her cell phone away.
" I figured you would not miss it".
With tears in her eyes, Elnora walked back into church. They did end up with plenty of egg souffle to go around. When the services were over, Elnora sat down in a chair to relax. She knew that what had just happened to her was God showing her the true meaning of Easter.
The End
