Nora wants her grandmother's recipe off the paper and onto the computer before the card tears . The card is old , and one corner is soft . She cooks from it often . She wants one file that shows the whole card , including the faint line at the bottom . The scanner sits beside the monitor . It reads a paper document and makes a picture file , much like a camera pointed at a page . Nora lays the card face down and closes the lid . The first scan cuts off the soft corner , so the title is missing . She opens the lid , sets the card straight , and scans again . This time the title is there . The last line is not clear . The picture is darker than the paper in her hand . The monitor is a thin screen . A button on the frame changes the brightness . She raises it until the pencil marks show . Now she can read the last line , a short note about salt . That note is the part she was afraid to lose . She needs a name for the file . The mouse moves the cursor . She presses the left button on the name box , and the box is selected . She types " Sunday soup " on the keyboard . The space bar is the long key along the bottom , and she uses it between the two words . Then she rolls the wheel on the mouse . The page scrolls down . The salt note is still inside the picture . While the window is open , the computer is holding the picture in memory . Nora wants a copy that stays after she closes that window . She clicks Save , and the hard drive keeps the file . She closes the window , opens the file again , and scrolls to the bottom . The salt note is still there . She slides the paper card into a folder and leaves it in the drawer . The file is the copy she will cook from . She can read the last line . That was the thing she wanted .
