But otherwise it's wrong. When he sees that Gimpy is offering it to him, he nods and smiles again.
"That he knows," laughs Frank. "Give him something bright and shiny."
Frank, who has let Gimpy take over the experiment, leans forward excitedly.
"Maybe if he wants that piece of junk bad enough and you tell him he'll get it if he learns to shape the dough into rolls—maybe it'll work."
As the bakers set to the task of teaching Charlie, others from the shop gather around.
Frank clears an area between them on the table, and Gimpy pulls off a medium sized piece of dough for Charlie to work with.
There is talk of betting on whether or not Charlie can learn to make rolls.
"Watch us carefully," says Gimpy, putting the pendant beside him on the table where Charlie can see it.
"Watch and do everything we do. If you learn how to make rolls, you'll get this shiny good-luck piece."
Charlie hunches over on his stool, intently watching Gimpy pick up the knife and cut off a slab of dough.
He studies each movement as Gimpy rolls out the dough into a long roll,
breaks it off and twists it into a circle, pausing now and then to sprinkle it with flour.
