	SCENE 1	David and his grandmother Harriet surprise Mr. Hooper at the store. Mr. Hooper has a problem - the person originally in charge of bringing sandwiches to the Day Care Center had to cancel and Mr. Hooper agreed to fill in. He doesn't think he can make all those sandwiches in the short amount of time and tells the others that the day care can't cancel the event and no other store around can help him. As David and Mr. Hooper converse about finding help, Harriet reveals she's already made several sandwiches by herself.
