[Three-Dialogue Story] The Meadow Inside the Book (388 characters)

There was a meadow inside the book.
When I wandered in, I saw a Starbucks sign. Looking closer, it looked like a Starbucks but wasn't. The logo was similar, but the signs and menu were in a foreign script.

The language was understandable.
The clerk recommended the penne and asked for my size.

"Short... no, make it a grande size."

I went outside the shop.
The clerk spread a pink placemat on the meadow. They placed a white plate on it, which was about two tatami mats in size and large enough to cast a shadow over the mat.
Then, they scooped penne from a large pot with a ladder leaning against it using a big ladle, dumping it onto the plate. Each piece of penne was about the size of my face. It was tossed in tomato sauce.

"I wonder if I can finish all this,"
I laughed, and they replied,
"Since we are inside a book, it won't go bad."

I ate just one piece of the delicious penne.

Wondering when the return deadline for this book was, I lay down in the warm, sunny meadow and listened to the sound of the wind.
