The narrator tells us that he's been eating a pancake every day since he was a baby. He wants to play a game of hide-and-seek with the other children. He says that if he finds the pancake within thirty seconds, he'll take it. But if he can't find it, he won't be able to eat it. He's hungry, and he wants to know what's in the box of food that's sitting there waiting for him to get a job. The food is a steak that he used to buy before he was born. The narrator says that the steak tastes just like the steak he ate when he was little. He tells the children at the orphanage that he has a father, and that he doesn't have to worry about them because he has one.
