(Not So) Cool Beans

Last Friday, after class, I decided to look around Albertsons too see if there was anything good on sale. A big can of black beans was only 99 cents so I decided to buy a couple. When I went home, I planned to saute them with some garlic and onions and serve with rice. I opened one of the cans, only to find that it was empty, and I became very upset. In fact, I was so upset that I was ready to march back to Albertsons and get my money back. Then I remembered, hey it was only a dollar and I still had another can. So I grabbed the other can and opened it, only to find that it wasn't a can of beans at all. It was a can of rice! I checked the label and confirmed that I bought a can of rice instead of my black beans. Unbelievable! Who would have thought that they sell canned rice? What was I going to do with an empty can of black beans and an open can of rice? Boy was I mad, real mad. So mad my face was flushed with rage. Rage against the beans. And then my alarm went off, and I woke up. I ran to my cupboard. Whew! They were still there. My precious cans of black beans were still there. I shook them to make sure they were full, and I checked the labels, yes they were in fact black beans.
