My lucky number is ZERO

3 children are in the old wooden pachinko parlor down by the mountain stream.  It is raining something fierce outdoors and the roof is leaking.  Water hisses as it kisses the stove.

child #1  :  Did you know the human body has 10 times as many microbes in its gut than cells in its own body?

child #2 :  Yes.  I even add extra bacteria to my gut garden flora every morn with a shot of Yakult.  Chance pruning in the dark of the hedge in my appendix.

child #3 (looking at her golden Rolex watch on her wrist) : Annnnnnnnd Time.  Zero is my new lucky number.  No raindrops fell in the stove's chimney in the past 5 minutes.  Pay up suckers.

The two other kids sigh and each hand her a single yen coin and a strawberry.
