Garlic Herb Ravioli

Alright, so hear this: The son of two hard-working parents wins a prize for a two-person vacation to the Mediterranean, and he decides to gift the prize to his parents. They are delighted and give him and his siblings money for food while they're away, but the kids decide to instead spend it on things they really want like toys and stuff. Sounds good so far, right? Well it gets better: Since they no longer have enough money for decent food, they have to survive on pure ravioli. But ravioli gets bland after a while, yeah? So they try to extort neighbors and friends into giving them food that isn't ravioli. What do you think?
