Episode 136

Kim Karnsrithong and her cousin have stopped by for a visit. Kino explains that he has ten dollars saved up from doing some jobs for his mother, but he doesn't know what to spend it on. After Kim points out that he only has nine dollars, Lucy suggests that he save it for a rainy day. While he decides what to do, Kim reads a book about a little girl with a pesky little brother. Paula Poundstone comes in to read and suggests that Kino use his money to buy books. She reads one about a restaurant for animals, and Kino points out that the Storyplace is just like it, where everyone is welcome. Finally, Paula reads a book about a little girl who doesn't like her name, and everyone talks about nicknames.
