Everybody knows that Twiggy is a brave pup, so it is no surprise that she has taken an adventure to Chinatown. But you’ll neverguess how it happened…
One day Twiggy was lounging by the radiator when she smelled the most delicious thing. The Smith family who lives on Rivington Street had just ordered dinner from Wo Hop Restaurant, and at just that moment a delivery man was whizzing past on his bicycle with the most delicious egg rolls in tow.

Twiggy’s tiny black shiny nose took over and she couldn’t be stopped!
She darted out of the door, down the block, and across Delancey Street, ending up in Chinatown!

What a different world! Twiggy couldn’t understand any of the signs, there were people everywhere, and she couldn’t smell the egg rolls anymore.
You see, in Chinatown there are lots of new smells on the streets. There is a little old man who makes the most delicious miniature pancakes you’ve ever tasted,
fish straight from the ocean packed into crates for sale,
seafood
tanks packed full of crabs,
chinese
and huge windows where roasted ducks are lined up like soldiers!
Surrounded by this smorgasbord of smells, Twiggy started to feel very lost and scared.

There was no way she could sniff out Wo Hop Restaurant now - her little black nose was being bombarded with smells!
Back at home, Jen called Twiggy’s name and listened‌
She waited for the tell-tale sound of pup paws prancing towards her, but she heard nothing.

So at the very same time that Twiggy was scared in Chinatown, Jen was scared back home! She ran out of the door and jumped on her bicycle.
She zoomed down the block, across Delancey Street and into Chinatown
Jen saw - and smelled - the delicious aroma of the miniature pancakes
and rode past cart and cart full of fresh fish staring right back at her!
seafood
She hurried past tanks taller than her head where live crabs danced in the water
chinese
and darted past the windows packed with fresh roasted ducks.
Then - out of the corner of her eye - Jen saw a tiny white tail quivering beneath a basket full of fresh vegetables. She ran as quickly as she could and when she looked under the basket she found a very frightened Twiggy!
Twiggy jumped into Jen’s arms and promised never to go on such a far adventure without telling her ever again. They bicycled back home, called Wo Hop Restaurant, and snuggled together on the sofa while they waited for the delivery man to arrive on his bicycle with their very own egg rolls!
After dinner, Jen and Twiggy spoke with Oliver on FaceTime to tell him about their adventure. The three of them promised to go to Wo Hop together when Oliver comes to visit New York!
