Somer Williams, the owner of a restaurant in Oklahoma, found herself at the center of an unexpected series of events. What happened?

“It was last Monday when I picked up the phone at the restaurant,” Williams recalled in an interview. “A voice that sounded like it came from a very young child asked me if she could have some French fries,” she added. “I told her I was glad to help but needed to speak to an adult — the voice told me a parent was not close by.” Day after day, the calls came. Eventually, more young voices had joined the French Fry girl on the phone. The persistent calls made Williams take action. She turned to social media, hoping to find out the mystery behind the mysterious callers.

“I posted on Facebook trying to figure out who was on the other end of the line,” Williams explained. Little did she know, her posts would become popular, drawing attention from people across the globe who eagerly followed the unfolding story. Later, Williams came up with a clever plan to get information during the next call. “I’m going to give a French fry party to your school if I can talk to your mom,” she said to the persistent callers. However, the children remained elusive, with one even posing as a parent during the conversation.

Not discouraged, Williams found a crucial clue — the name of their dog, Beethoven. With this information in hand, she started a mission, contacting nearby elementary schools in search of the French fry lovers. Finally, the breakthrough came when Katherine I Daily Elementary identified the hungry callers: Emily, Miley, and Linda. 

On March 26, 2024, the much-anticipated French fry parties became a reality, as the three friends celebrated with their classmates, thanks to Williams’ determination and the collaborative (合作的) spirit of the community. “It was really fun trying to find them,” Williams said. “I did not know it would go so worldwide.”
