Rusty loves doughnuts, but it seems like his parents won’t ever let him have a doughnut! One day he wishes for a million doughnuts, and when that wish comes true, Rusty learns that maybe there is too much of a good thing. Excerpt: “Doughnuts! How I love them!” Rusty stared at the display of tasty, scrumptious doughnuts on the tray inside the glass case at the bakery. The longer he looked at those doughnuts, the more his stomach grumbled for their sweet and yummy taste. His mouth watered as he took in the sight of so many ooey-gooey sweet treats! The delicious round cake doughnuts with pink icing and colorful sprinkles on top... The long chocolate bar doughnuts... The round glazed doughnuts... And the white powdered doughnuts that always left a powdery line on his

mouth every time he bit into them. All of those doughnuts looked so good to eat! Rusty looked up at his mother. “Can I have a doughnut, Mom? Please?” Mother looked at Rusty and shook her head. “Doughnuts are not good for you,” she answered. “But I love doughnuts!” Rusty whined. “And you never let me eat them!” “Maybe some other time,” Mother said. She turned back around to look at the baker. Rusty frowned as he listened to his mother order four bran muffins to take home for breakfast. He scowled. Bran muffins? Yuck! Doughnuts were better than bran muffins!
