A little bit about the
Narrator: myself
I am Albert-fly-on-the-wall. The only
fly that Arisha allows to be near
her food. I am immacuately
clean- washing my hands
every hour and changing my
clothes every 4 hours.This may seem extreme
- but you have no idea how many germs
and parasites plague our world at any
given place. I chose to write about Arisha
because her surroundings smell pleasant
no matter what.I simply observe, enjoy,
and stay clean.

Johnny Di Calzoni
risha Babarisha has owned the Ricetta Bridge house for over 200
years. It was a gift from a pizza crafter, one was the best of his kind.
Every day for his entire life,Johnny Di Calzoni crafted 150 pizzas.
He had orders from across the globe. Everyone wanted to try the
famous Calzoni pizza. Johnny was a perfectionist
with the desire to make every lice a masterpiece,
taste and looks wise. So, in order to uphold
his legacy, he made sure to taste every single
piece of pizza, leaving a chunk missing.
His loyal fans considered this to be a form
of signature move, perhaps like an
autograph, since no other chefs
did this.For all of his followers,
this was a blessing. But for the
world renowned Johnny himself,
this caused him to gradually become
overweight. He sought out Arisha Babarisha’s
advice. Arisha listened to his problem
very carefully, making sure to
consider every little detail and
possible solution. Finally, she came
to a conclusion.

“I am not going to cook you anything,” said Arisha in a low and
wise voice. “You must continue cooking. You still need to continue tasting
and perfecting every dish that comes out of your kitchen, because
this is you! This is your signature move that makes your food YOUR
food. So, my solution to you is to begin cooking food that is perhaps
healthier, and not so high in calories.” Johnny stares at Arisha blankly.
“Okay… Like what food?”
“Sushi!” As the once famous Italy-born chef moved onto the next
step in his life-long journey, he knew what he had to do. He had to move
to a remote location in Japan that specialized in the creation of sushi,
and he would spend several more decades mastering the art which is
Sushinese cuisine.
And so before he fled to his new life in a new place, he left his precious
Ricetta Bridge House to the woman who helped him figure out his
new destiny- Arisha Babarisha. He told her that he did not want her to
sell the house, but instead to take up the responsibilities that came with
it. Shining the silver lamps on the front two walls to retain their magnificent
shine, cleaning the horns of the giants on the sides of the house,
and of course, watering the plants. What Johnny Di Calzoni did not
know was that Arisha had actually always loved his house. She would
always stop in her tracks while walking down to the marketplace and

Ricetta Bridge House
he Ricetta Bridge House was built on the Spaghetti river
originating from the Silver Pot Mountain. After this, the river passes
through twenty-three villages, travels under the house, and merges
into the Purple Ocean.
When Arisha entered the Ricetta Bridge House,
decided it was time for some remodeling according to her taste. A
little bit Nordic, some Ukranian patterns, spices hanging from every
corner of the house, many rafts filled with collections of dinnerware,
and a magical trunk. Then we have a broom and clock.
Anyways, more about Arisha. She is a chef, like the rest of her
family, but she is the only one who can prepare any meal for any
problem. Her and her family are the only ones in the world (that we
know of) who’s dishes solve difficultes, troubles, worries, or just hunger.
Alongside this, she can cook whenever her heart desires, without
needing anything other than her bag and pan. Now you are probably
thinking- she needs heat, a stove, and oven. Her pan is handcrafted
from volcanic metal with instant-heating properties that activate when
touched by food.

The All-recipe-knowing
clock
risha’s clock is not like the others. The cookoo bird is not
your typical bird- it is actually a fat chef. He does not tell the time,
but rather recites old cooking knowledge each hour. He knows and
remembers all recipes cooked from 10 generations before in Arisha’s
family. The only thing that can eventually tell you what time it is is the
number mentioned in these fairly random pieces of information.
For example, when the clock strikes 1pm, he says, “The juice
from one lemon is enough to make your fish tastier, but not enough
for a liter of lemonade.”
Next, at 2pm, he mentions, “Two tablespoons of Nespresso coffee
are enough to make a delicious latte.”
At 3pm, “Three lemons are enough for a cup of lemonade, but
too much to put on fish.” Sometimes, he can be quite annoying, but if
you really listen to what he is saying, he says very interesting things.

The bag with the pan and
essentials
In a leather bag, Arisha stores what products she renders to
be completely essential for her to prepare a dish at any given moment.
Salt, olive oil, and vinegar. The “salt” is SkySalt- salt that originates
from clouds. If the clouds are white, the salt is white. If they
are rainclouds, the salt results as slightly blue. Arisha calls the salt
KingSalt, which makes all food taste better. The olive oil is made
from two types of olives: those grown from a very sunny place, while
the others are from a dark and shadowy area. These two combined
mix to create the perfect balance of taste, texture, and healthiness. It
assists in prevention of extreme emotions such as over-friendliness
or depression. Her olive oil can be used as sunscreen that makes you
tan, not burn. She calls it QueenOlivia. Next, there is the vinegar.
Unlike most types, which simply hold the same flavor, such as apple
cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, etc., this vinegar adapts to each and
every dish. Arisha calls him BalsamicKnight. Knights can get ready
for any battle and adopt any position within the war- or in the BalsamicKnight’s
case, any dish, at any time, and any place.

King Trytofly II
e is King Trytofly II. His kingdom is a floating island of a petite
castle, a cherry tree merged with both the castle and island, and small
courtyard with checkered tiles. A couple of checkered tiles are broken. He
does not change them because he believes they are a good checkpoint for
his machines to land. He is alone in his own kingdom because he does
not want to be the people’s king, but the king of flying. He is the second
generation of flying innovators, hence the name Trytofly II.
The first King Trytofly became famous
for hismachine created from wax
and feathers.

He does not eat anything except eggs from high-flying, three headed
swans.He believes that this is the food of great flyers. Sad, he only
thinks about flying. How does he find a way to fly like a bird. From
the making of many flying machines, he became a masterful engineer.
He made machines for low flying, high flying, backwards flying, wide
flying, and looping flying. His idea of flying transformed into a fixed
ideaHebcamsad, closed off, he stopped calling his friends,stopped eating,
and evethenhe could not think of any good machines.
Arisha met King Trytofly II from a culinary exhibition for special
foods which give you special qualities; powers, knowledge, forgotten
memories, the solving of any problems, etc. From then on, they became
good friends. Every month, Arisha made the King his favorite
omelette made from three-headed swans.

Arisha was climbing the stairs that connected
her house with the floating castle. Usually, it takes her two hours and
twenty-two minutes. However, this time she was in a hurry due to her
desperate need of help from King Trytofly II. Arisha needed a new
spice which only grew on the bottom of the ocean. But she needed to
stay underwater for a longer time so she could carefully pick out the
perfect plant. This plant needed to have the “Perfect Posture”. With
this, it needed to be young, it’s leaves positioned towards the sun, and
it could not slouch against anything. Arisha had arrived at the courtyard
during the night.
She looked around and noticed that the castle was lit up, but quiet.
A dark shadow on the floor scurried across the courtyard. Arisha
realizes that the only thing this could be is King Trytofly II soaring
far above her head, because no birds fly this high.
“Get down, Trytofly! I need a machine,”
Arisha yelled and waved at the king.
As Trytofly II landed, Arisha noticed
he looked tired. She asked, “Why are
you still flying? It is late.” He replied,
Arisha babarisha LAST.indd 27
3/3/2020 6:39:50 PM
“I cannot sleep, I don’t feel hunger, I don’t have any ideas for new
machines or how to better my old ones, and I can’t do anything else
but to fly around my castle.” Arisha looked puzzled, believing that
this would never happen. She had warned the king several times that
his idea of flying had spiraled into an obsession. The eggs from the
three-headed swans no longer helped.
Arisha says,
“I believe I have to cook you something stronger than the
swan egg omelette.”

As usual, Arisha had cooked an extremely delicious and healthy problem
solving dish. The machine for underwater breathing was done
very quickly after King Trytofly had eaten the NoMore Fixed Idea
cream. He was thrilled by the result. For the first time, the king had
encountered this underwater breathing problem. But he had seen that
it had a lot in common with flying. So the machine was light, capable
of moving at high speeds, and comfortable to carry. Trytofly was
proud of his new creation. He already had new ideas for new machines
made for breathing and swimming underwater.
He was ready for his new fixed idea¹.
Fixed idea¹: a persistent or obsessing idea, often delusional, that
can, in extreme form, be a symptom of psychosis.

harlie O’ Fisher was a fish like any other citizens that lived in
his town. His seven cousins, fifteen brothers, and six sisters had identical
patterns: blue with black fins. The other family had black and
yellow stripes. This was the problem. From generations on, there was
an ongoing rivalry between the two families of Chanelfish, arguing
which one of two patterns best matched their colorful town. The first
populations of fish which had discovered the Sunny Hill and began
building the town had scattered blue and yellow dots all over their
scales as a pattern.
Let’s move back in the story to a different part in time to see how the
Chanelfish have played an important role in the worldwide trendsetting.
They took care of making sure that history’s most prominent
figures always looked glamorous, luxurious, for the more plump to
appear thin, (Catherine), the miniscule to be tall, (Napoleon) and
unpleasant to be a little bit more pleasant to the eye (Elizabeth).
Louis XIV of France, Catherine the Great of Russia, Elizabeth I of
England and Cleopatra of Egypt all sought assistance with the combinations
of fabric and color from the Chanelfish. Except, Cleopatra
only had her clothes sewn. She was perfect in every way. These types
of aquatic species had a unique and keen taste for design, and could
even speak, though rarely chose to do so. The rest of the ocean’s
inhabitants even considered them to be the Purple Ocean’s very own
aesthetic designers. With their high ranking in the design world,
they controlled the deep sea’s trends of couture¹.

Now to return to the developing issue; which family best matches

this heated competition is always on the Chanelfish’s minds, when
it comes to a new client, they work together without complaint.
So their lives go on peacefully and with constant discovery of new

Arisha and Charlie O’ Fisher
risha strolled down the stairs of her Ricetta Bridge House
and with Trytofly II’s new underwater invention, submerged into the
Purple Ocean in search for her “Perfect Posture” plant and a special
Chanelfish designer to assist her with her new hat. Her advanced piece
of technology was designed to allow comfortable breathing and lightweight
transport. For the first time she had the chance to look around
underwater without any rush, as the new device let her calmly breathe
and move. There was not a clear direction for her to head in, so she relied
on her gut feeling. (The chefs from her rank have a strongly developed
gut feeling). Arisha’s gut informed her to swim straight down.
Almost immediately, she laid her eyes onto many colorful specs on
the bottom of the ocean, unsure of what they could be. As she traveled
closer, it began to appear that they were roofs of abundant houses perhaps
the town she was searching for. Arisha then observed that one of
the patterns of the houses impeccably matched her hat, signifying that
she was in the right place.
After a couple of minutes, Arisha had already been in the town, and
around her swam the world renowned Chanelfish. Out of the many
fish, there was one in particular which chose to swim directly towards
Arisha, as if it’s main motive was to talk to her. As previously mentioned,
the Chanelfish can speak, though only to those who are on a
higher level than the average, such as royalty. Arisha, perplexed, blindy
stares into the fish’s eyes, wondering why it chose her.

“Bring me with you. I know who you are,” The Chanelfish explains.
“I am a skilled designer and I want to make exceptional
cuisine, worth a special journey. I want to explore your choices in
the kitchen and create brand new meals that everyone can enjoy. I
would even be a way for you to travel.” And this is how Arisha and
Charlie O’ Fisher’s culinary adventure began.

The Bird Which
Did Not Want to Fly
risha needed eggs from the Bird Which Did Not Want to
Fly for Kingtrytofly II’s previously requested omelette, that would resolve
his fixed idea of flying. Arisha had never seen this bird, but had
heard of her through the other birds that landed on her own house.
Often times, chit-chat was heard coming from the roof, with birds
sharing their own tasteful opinions. The sedulous sparrows complained
of her being lazy. The stunning swans believed that she was
far too obsessed with her own looks, and could not risk flying or else
she would ruin her perfectly put together hairstyle. However, Arisha
did not take these insults seriously. She understood why the swans
would not admire one of their own if she was far prettier than themselves.
The only information that Ms. Babarisha needed from those
gossiping machines was where this special bird lived. And so Arisha
listened closely as she sat in her kitchen one day, and discovered that
she knew exactly where the bird lived and how to get there. She began
packing her luggage filled with spices and pans, and left.
Eventually, her short trek had come to an end, and she arrived at the
three trees described in the previous hearsay. They were all towering
taller than skyscrapers, much larger than she anticipated. Logically,
Arisha assumed that there would be an easy way to the top, considering that
the bird did not want to fly.
Arisha babarisha LAST.indd 40
3/3/2020 6:40:15 PM
It only took a few moments for Ms. Babarisha to pinpoint where the
sky-high ladder was, so she began climbing. Once she reached the
peak, her eyes landed on the most beautiful nest she had ever seen, and
a bird even more magnificent. Though what puzzled Arisha the most
was the fact that this bird held her eggs on her head, rather than under
her bottom.
“Hi Arisha! I have been expecting you,” exclaimed the peculiar bird. “I
believe I know why you are here.” Arisha’s already boggled expression
twisted into an even more confused gaze, as she attempted to rationally
process this situation. “A little bird told me that you needed two of
my eggs for a recipe that cures a certain flying fixed idea. From what I
have gained, the issue here seems dire. He needs to stop flying so that
he could have a family and kids, like I do. He must be a very lonely and
sad person,” Arisha nods. “So, of course I will give you two eggs!” In a
moment of surprise and delight, Arisha hollers,
“Thank you, thank you! But, I have a question for you. What is the
reason behind you not wanting to fly? Do you happen to be sick?”
“I cannot fly because I don’t want to leave my babies alone,” the bird
replied in a heartfelt manner. “There are so many dangers out in the
world, that I get anxious of what might happen,” The cautious bird’s
pupils enlarged, and she was
visibly flushed by
waves of fear and uneasiness.
The backs of her feathers stood up high,
and she curled
Arisha babarisha LAST.indd 41
3/3/2020 6:40:18 PM
her wings up behind her. “The wind could blow the babies out
of the nest, a snake could snatch them, a-a-a hawk could steal
them, there is just so many things that could harm my lovelies…
In fact, I know you were probably wondering why I carry my
darlings on my head. It’s because I fear I might step on them!”
“I completely understand,” Arisha acknowledged, “but what
about when they begin to fly? With your overwhelming instincts
to protect them now, sooner than later, they will be able to fly
away, leaving you at a disadvantage. You have forgotten how to
fly, but your soon-to-be-flyers would not have!” The bird’s already
panicked demeanor only fell deeper into a state of frenzy,
and her eyes started to well up with tears.
“B-b-but, I never thought of it like t-that,” She bawled through a
waterfall of tears. “What am I supposed to do now?! My sweeties
will be flying any moment now! Help me, Arisha… I can put my
trust in you that you will cook up a magical antidote to fix my
mess.”

Filip Rose
ilip Rose had 156,843 TakeaBreak flowers. He knew the
exact number because every day, he extracted two balls of string
from each and every flower. Filip’s flowers required their string to be
removed once a day to prevent overgrowth and to provide comfort.
When one of the flowers overgrew, their string covered them entirely.
When the string completely engulfed them, the weight became too
overbearing to the thin stems that hold the TakeaBreak flowers up. As
a result of this, they snapped, sending the entire flower plummeting
to the ground. The lustrous, tough, elastic fibers produced from the
flowers held a magnificent shimmer that shone brightly in the sunlight.
One day, Filip used this to his advantage. He discovered that he
could create cloth from spinning and weaving the threads until they
all connect and eventually form a single piece of fabric. As has already
been mentioned in this book, every year, Arisha Babarisha visited her
friend Filip Rose to request a new layer for her wonky hat. From these
annual encounters, Arisha has spread the word about Filip Rose’s
wonderful goods, and many designers decided to reach out. One of
these designers was Charlie O’ Fisher and his family. Alongside the
Fisher family, Kingtrytofly II has also worked with Filip Rose to provide
him with much needed reliable cloth for his flying machine.
Arisha babarisha LAST.indd 48
3/3/2020 6:40:40 PM
At the time, Filip was bent over, fixing one of the machines of flower
number 5,972. Each individual machine was automatically operated
and pulled out the string to create balls of yarn. After the ball was
constructed, the cloth came out of the other end. In this particular
machine that was assigned to flower number 5,972, a certain step was
blocked by an overflow of string. This happened to be the day that Arisha
Babarisha had to collect her annual layer of cloth for her hat. She
was roaming through the vast fields of flowers, thinking to herself,
“Wow… These flowers are so beautiful! Their petals have a wonderful
yellow to them. Ah, those pink and white crystals have such a stunning
dazzle!” She took a couple steps forward, and felt a wave of familiarity
and warmth mosey around her nose. She was instantly captivated by
the scent and began to wonder what it reminded her of. It seemed to
linger continuously until the very moment she pinned it down. “Aha!
Croissants! My mother’s secret croissant recipe!
On those cozy Saturday mornings, with my
whole family, all huddled together at the
dinner table as we indulge in our favorite meal;
croissants with warm milk. I can smell the crisp
snow’s faint scent leaking through the partially open
window and the fireplace’s comforting, deep woody
aroma.” Arisha seemed to have fallen into a state of
euphoria and her favorite memory was projected directly
into her head the moment the TakeaBreak flowers did their
job. “Oh,” Arisha murmured to herself, pleasantly surprised.
“So that’s why they’re called the TakeaBreak flowers…”
She snapped herself out of this wonderful, strange transe

Dr. Mashroo
r. Mashroo- expert in biology and microbiology, 67
years of experience In November of 3019, the Global Foundation of
Biology recognized Dr. Mashroo as one of the 50 Visionaries of the
Year. In June of 2012, he received an honorary, accredited Doctorate
of Science degree (D.Sc.) from the National College for Chemistry
for his academic achievements and for expanding the field of science.
Simply put, the world-renowned Dr. Mashroo knows everything
about mushrooms and other fungi of that sort. That is how the world
sees him, and how he sees himself.
Mashroo was sitting on the tallest mushroom, after his butterfly carried
him from the adjacent island- island number three. His third
daily checkup for the abundant fungi had finished, which included
a vast majority of tests, treatments, and observing of color vibrancy,
smell, and size. For example, he carefully tracked and recorded the
pH of each individual species, H20 levels within the top layer of flesh,
and most importantly, the amount of spores at every given moment,
etc. On this island, there lived six hundred thirty-five mushrooms,
four thousand and fifty-six grasses and weeds, seven different types of
moss, with every type covering thirty square feet. However, Mashroo
was feeling quite fatigued and blue. He did not not why, as his temperature
was normal, he was not dehydrated,
Arisha babarisha LAST.indd 54
3/3/2020 6:40:54 PM
and blood pressure was normal, and even lower than usual. Every
piece of physical and chemical data regarding his body were flawless.
There were no more tests left to run, so Mashroo made the stark
decision to simply return home and continue reading his new book
about the splendid fungi that inhabited the Amazon Rainforest. so
very fresh.
In this moment, what he heard and saw next quickly distrcted him
from his new book. First, a loud splash of water. Then, what he observed
to be a larger-than-usual aquatic vertebrate with a diameter
of 27 inches, height of 42 inches, and weight of 50 pounds next to
a strange mammal with strikingly colorful clothes- age unknown,
appeared in his pond.
“Heeeey! What are you doing in my pond?! And-and how did you
find my third island of mushrooms?!” he yelled, flabbergasted. As
Mashroo stared blankly at the fish next to the vividly colored human,
his worst fear came true. Arisha reached out to touch the red bubble-like
plant hanging loosely in front of her face. The blood drained
rapidly from Mashroo’s face, and he became paler than a marshmellow
fresh out of the packaging. He felt his blood pressure dropping,
and his body temperature also decreasing by an unhealthy 6.47 degrees.
water as an ingredient for a brand new dish I want to prepare
for my friend who began seeing everything as grey,”
Mashroo stood in desbelief of what came out of her mouth, eager to
correct her. “This isabsolutely impossible.
I would have known of these apparant
benefits that sit in the chemical properties
which make colors appear more vibrant.”

“No-o!” he yelped, in a desperate attempt to stop the curious Arisha
Babarisha. “You can’t touch that!” Arisha immediately pulled her hand
away from the mysterious organism and turned to look at him in surprise.
“I have not done research for the effects of a human being touching
that red bubble,” he continued.
“Oh no, I am so very sorry! Everything here is just so pretty and bright,
and smells so fresh. This is truly the most beautiful place I have ever
visited. Fisher led me here, and said everyone in his city knew about
it. His brother, grandpa, their grandparents, have been coming here
for decades because the pond excentuated the patterns on their bodies,”
Arisha replied. “I would like to take some of thisFisher jumped
into the conversation, and murmured, “But...it does work,” he looked
around. “Everybody knows that. As a matter of fact,” he quickly signaled
at a mushroom that caught his eye. “I know that one! Her name
is Madeline. She’s my friend’s girlfriend. He actually has a framed
picture of her above his bed. They are in love,” Fisher said with a glare
of confidence. Mashroo’s expression once again smudged into near
disgust, combined with fury.
Mycology: the branch of biology relating to the study of fungi, including genetic
and biochemical properties, taxonomy, and use to other life as a source for
traditional medicine, and food, as well as their dangers, such as toxicity
or infection.

“NO! This is too, impossible! Mushrooms cannot show emotion,
let alone any thoughts! A-and,” he shook his head and flared his
arms, “They-they absolutely do NOT have names!” Both Fisher
and Arisha glared at the raging doctor and only listened to his
ranting with patience and a smidge of confusion. “I would have
KNOWN if this was true,” he continued, seeming to relax a little
bit more as he went on talking. “Every single day I test these specimens,
and nowhere have I found indications of love in that mushroom
#45... Except, well, I do believe I recorded a slight increase
of color vibrancy. Maybe it’s temperature also increased with one
degree. But I have not heard of any... ‘love’.” he gestured two imaginary
quotes with his hands while wearing a deep look of contemplation
and looking at the floor. Fisher, complelely unphased and
off in his own realm, blurted, “Oh and also, you don’t even have
blue mushrooms here. They’re great! And they smell like candied
violets, too.” At this point, Mashroo lost his temper completely.
“Stop with this nonsense! You don’t even know a single gram of
fungology, or mycology, or biology, or-or anything! How can you
say such things, with such confidence?! There are no blue mushrooms
that smell of violets, or color-increasing ponds, or whatever
this thing called LOVE is!” Fisher, once again without a care in the
world, kept on explaining.
“Well uh, ok. If you still want to see the blue mushrooms and
you’re scared of leaving your precious islands alone, my brothers
and I will be here to take care of them.” Mashroo stood in a boiling
pot of his own emotions. Arisha, then, did what she does best.

You probably feel quite bewildered, I imagine,” Arisha
said calmly. “And it’s because you now realize
you don’t know everything.” The doctor was unable
to respond, as he still had difficulty accepting this.
“Nobody knows everything, even people as smart as
you. I have a fabulous soup made just for savants like
you. I know what can help.

Mama’s Cake Recipe:
People that fear not

the first try
All products for a standard cake with your
favorite flavier
(i.e chocolate, vanilla)
~training 2 months before Birthday

you question the validity of your issue
~3 liters of water and moisturizer
~1 cup of tea or coffee
Preparation:
Make a standard cake of your flavor. Train for two months leading up to the special day. Buy
number candles according to how old you will be. Number candles are better because the
chance of you blowing them out all at once is better rather than having 456 candles on your
cake. Put the sweetener in your tea/coffee and drink it a little before blowing the candles out.
(The sweetener should be used every day, drink three liters of water every day, and moisturize
frequently).

The Cousins’ Stew Recipe:
People that Are Running from
Problems
~All products for standard stew with your preferred
meat (i.e beef, pork)
~1 bucket of freezing cold water
~3 very sour lemons
~1 passport
Preparation:
Make a standard stew. After the stew is eaten, say out loud which problem you wish to
run away from, immediately place your head in the bucket of freezing, ice cold water.
While you are still in a state of shock from the icy water, squeeze the juice from your
three very sour lemons into your mouth all at once. Following this, you should be
extremely angry at yourself, and ask yourself why you did this. Besides from being already
frustrated at yourself, you remember the person which caused this problem that
you are running away from. Burn your passport and donate all of your money. If you
have done everything correctly, you should be left with nothing else but to solve your
problem.
