The narrator tells us that this chapter is a gift basket from another side of town. It's a festival in the summer, and there are lots of vendors selling hot dogs and other food items. The narrator says that his boss found out about the festival, so he told him to give something away to the community during the off-season to apologize. The boss hired him as a foreigner student, and he's thrilled to have a job on the other side. He tells the narrator that they're going to do a fireworks display tonight, and the narrator says he'll come by after work if he can. He says that the guy who works at the fire works looks like a "spirit" , but the narrator doesn't know who he is. He's not sure how to eat the hot dogs, but he says it's because they are so hard to eat. He gives the narrator a gem and tells him to hold it in his left hand while he covers it with his right hand. The gem smells good and is ready to eat, but it has a "creamy" taste.
