Early in the morning, Miss Minola wakes up to find that her sister has gone back on her promise to buy herself a new set of remote controls. She is furious with her sister, who lied to her when she promised to teach them how to play cards. She tells her sister that she can buy whatever she wants and that she will also bring her to a buffet so she can eat good food. The three of them go to the buffet, and Miss Mingola notices that one of the "bottomless pits" has been replaced by a "great beauty," but that the other two are still there. Miss Linganzi, the manager of the shop, notices that the three have eaten half of their food in less than two hours, and she is worried that the shop will go bankrupt if they do nothing about it.
