9 JUST WHAT THEY KNEADED

CHAPTER NINE JUST WHAT THEY KNEADED You were right," Franny said to the Muffin Man. "This is a perfect place to set up your bakery. Now you can work as late as you want, and we have space to work on our other projects." The Muffin Man slid a tray of muffins into his built-in oven. "Just stay out of the way and be quiet," she told him. "We don't need to let everybody know that you're down here." Igor reached for a muffin.

"No!" Franny said. "I told you before. These are for the bake sale. Keep your paws off them." Igor nodded. "Good night," Franny called out to the Muffin Man as they headed up the stairs, but he didn't answer back. He was concentrating on making a great big batch of muffins for all the smiling, happy kids who would be waiting for them the next morning.
