CHAPTER ONE

Bagels and Beans
Hi. Remember me? I m Josh Bernstein, the kid with a dog named Bagels.
It s Monday morning, and Dad s making breakfast.
Who s up for baked beans in tomato sauce on a toasted bagel? he asks, holding up the can of Betsy Brown s Baked Beans.
My sister, Becky, and I shout out, We are!
It s our favorite breakfast food.
Bagels begins to drool. He also loves Betsy Brown s Baked Beans.
No, Bagels, Dad says. I m sorry, but this is only for humans.
For reasons I won t go into, we try to keep beans away from Bagels. But it s actually the sauce he likes best. That s why I let him lick the dirty plates before they go into the dishwasher. Actually, we all like the sauce best.
Bagels s other favorite foods are turkey sausages, underwear, old socks and, of course, bagels.
Our cat, Creamcheese, prefers to eat Cat Banquet . According to the TV ads, it s the canned food for cats with good taste .
Lox, our goldfish, only eats dried bugs. I guess he doesn t have such good taste.
You know, Dad says to Becky and me, you guys ought to be on a television commercial for these baked beans.
I don t want to be on TV , but Becky does. And I m sure Bagels does too. He s an actor.
Becky smiles at a nonexistent camera and mimics the TV ad.
Betsy Brown s Baked Beans are the world s favorite. It s all in the sauce.
Weroof, barks Bagels as he turns the dog version of a cartwheel.
That s when Mom rushes into the kitchen.
She s waving a letter.
Can you guess what this is? she says.
We re all about to guess, but she doesn t give us time.

We re going on a cruise, she says. This letter is from the Betsy Brown s Baked Beans company.
What a coincidence!
Remember the contest I entered? says Mom. I had to write about why my family loves Betsy Brown s Baked Beans in tomato sauce?
No one remembers, but we all nod.
