Anisa, a maid at a family restaurant called Snowshoe's, laments over the absence of her younger brother … to help her with chores. She is sent to see what has come of her brother, who had been sent to the Bazaar to buy some radishes. She finds her brother vainly trying to recover a five-shekel piece from some young hoodlums. She intervenes, but draws the attention of an older, teen-aged Vartan. Anisa issues a challenge to the hippogryph, and shows that she can pack one nasty rabbit-punch … winning the fiver back from the young punks.
