You peer into the trash can, where you find Sporky quietly crying to himself.
“Sporky! What are you doing in there? Why are you crying?”

“Because I’m trash!”
“You’re Bonnie’s favorite toy, Spor-”
“Toy! I’m not a toy! Look at me! I’m a spork!”
20
“Toys come in all shapes in sizes, Sporky. We’re all unique, and Bonnie loves us all-”
“Don’t you see? I’m not like the rest of you… You toys all have each other, but I’m different. I don’t have anyone…”
21
You watch as Sporky digs himself deeper into the trash can.
How can we convince Sporky that he’s loved?

In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto: Anyone can cook. But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France. They are deserving of nothing less than a five star rating. I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more.
