Description

Guido Visioni lived in an apartment building in The Bronx with his mother, his father, and their standard red poodle, Fredo. You could say that Guido was particular about the food that he ate. You might even say he was...picky.

The one food that Guido loved to eat was macaroni. He ate macaroni for breakfast, he ate it for lunch, he ate it for dinner, and sometimes he even ate macaroni for dessert With every new delicious and adventurous meal put before him, he would say to his parents, "Noooooo thank you. I like macaroni " Guido would visit his friends throughout his apartment building, all having immigrated from nations all over the world. Each friend would offer Guido new and exciting cuisine from their family's cultural traditions. "Try it. You might like it," they would say. Guido would simply reply, "Noooooo thank you. I like macaroni "

Sashimi from Yumi's family? "Noooooo thank you "
Luis' enchiladas? "Noooooo thank you "
Priya's samosas? "Noooooo thank you "
Rami's baba-ganoush? "Noooooo thank you "
It seemed that no one could sway him away from his beloved macaroni.

Until one day, Guido, Fredo and their friends walked to school. He remembered his backpack. He remembered his clarinet. He remembered to kiss his mother and father goodbye...but he forgot his lunchbox that was filled with macaroni.

Eventually, Guido has the courage to try the foods of his friends and their families. And guess what? He liked them
