“My name is Bobby. I live about a 
mile away in Bauville.”
“Well, Bobby, let’s get started. You’ll need to wear this visitor’s hard hat.” Steve handed Bobby a bright yellow hard hat and put a white one on his own head.
“I am guessing you don’t know where the raw ingredients for Zervberries come from, or do you?” Steve asked.
“No, actually, I don’t know anything about Zervberries. Usually the Zervs just get whatever Berries they want so they can do all the things we want them to do. I don’t really think about it. I guess my parents pay the Zervberry bill every month. Otherwise, I don’t know anything about what you do here.”
Steve pointed to a huge pile of purple rocks. “Over here is one of the main ingredients we use to make Zervberries. These rocks come from the mountains several hundred miles away. They come by train. We grind up these rocks and put them in the Furnace, which makes Zervberries. If we didn’t have these rocks, we couldn’t make the Berries. We also need water, lots of
water, so that’s why the Factory is next to the river. Some of the water is used to mix with the rocks to make Zervberries, and some of the water is used to cool the Furnace, because it gets really hot. We have to have a hot oven, but we also need to cool the outside of the oven so the factory won’t catch on fire.”
