“Absolutely!” replied Chaim to Imma who asked him if he was planning to eat ice cream for dessert. “Well in that case, you better eat the chicken that I put on your plate!” said Imma, “Only those kids who eat chicken will get ice cream.” For the love of his mother (and ice cream), Chaim had no choice but to eat up the chicken on his plate.
When the ice cream container was brought to the table, Miriam announced: “I have a surprise!” Everyone looked at her direction and saw an ice cream scooper in her hand. “I bought it on erev Shabbos in that new kitchen supply store that opened up in the shopping center.”
“Well it is wonderful that you bought this ice cream scooper, Miriam,” said Ephraim, “But can we really use it on Shabbos?!” “Why not?!” asked Miriam. “Because we’ll be forming round shapes from ice cream with that scooper!” came Ephraim’s reply.
Question: Can they use that ice cream scooper now?
