On good days, Maude could find her way to the grocery store and find just about everything on her list.

"Young man, can you tell me where I might find the aspirin?" she asked.

"Aisle 7," the clerk told her.

Maude went up and down the aisle several times and finally picked up the most likely substitute off the shelf, which was

a) chocolate pudding.

b) three marble Chinese goldfish.

c) a lovely miniature castle made of sugar.

d) all of the above.
