Jo wanted lunch , not another room . Her shoes were tight , and her aunt Helen still would not turn toward the door . Helen had promised a short visit to the Museum of Modern Art , and then something to eat . The meal was the only reason Jo had come . They passed rooms full of big color and metal shapes . Jo stopped reading the cards . She kept an eye on the way out . " One room , " Helen said . " Find two pictures that aren't the same , and we'll leave . " Jo went because she wanted to win . They stepped into a bright space and she stopped . Campbell's soup cans covered the wall . Red bands , white labels , the same kind of can she knew from a kitchen shelf . She laughed . " Anyone could paint that . " " Maybe , " said Helen . " Look again . " Jo moved closer and kept her hands behind her back . The first label said tomato . The next said chicken noodle . Farther along she found pepper pot , a soup she had never seen at home . She read the names under her breath . Some were ordinary . Some she could not imagine heating up for dinner . A man beside her told his friend he didn't get it . Jo almost agreed . Then she saw that he was still there , as if he wanted to walk away and couldn't . From the door the cans looked like copies . Up close , they were not . The reds didn't quite match from one can to the next . A black line around one rim was thicker than the line around another . Somebody had painted each can . Helen didn't give a talk . A small card on the wall said Andy Warhol . " Tomato and chicken noodle , " Jo said . " Those two . And pepper pot . I don't even know that one . " " So you found them . " " Yes . " She frowned . " They belong together anyway . It's like a shop , except you can't buy any of it . " Helen touched her arm . " We can go . You won . " Jo didn't move . Her shoes still hurt , and somewhere outside a table was waiting . She leaned toward one more label , a soup she ate often and never really saw . " One more minute , " she said .
