Gordon was hungry. He opened the refrigerator. There must be something in here to eat, he thought. There was-a single hot dog He took it out of its package and put a small frying pan onto the stove's gas burner. He turned on the heat. Then he poured a little bit of vegetable oil into the pan. He sliced the hot dog in half lengthwise. When the oil got hot, he put the two halves in the pan About a minute later, he flipped each half over. After another minute, he took the hot dog out of the pan.
