Happy Feelings With Rice

By Evelyn Won

Age Group: Elementary School

I like rice because I can eat it with all different foods and can have happy feelings.

When I eat rice alone, I feel like I am jumping on the clouds. When I eat rice with spinach, I feel like I am swinging on vines like Tarzan in the jungle. When I eat rice with seaweed soup, I feel like I am swimming at the beach. When I eat rice with Kimchi, I feel like I can blow out fire from my mouth like a dragon fighting at a castle. When I eat rice with bean sprout, I feel like I am sitting at my garden watching my plants grow from a seed. When I eat rice with anchovy, I feel like I am seeing fishes swimming in the water. When I eat rice with roasted seaweed, I feel like I am rolling in my bed with a blanket all wrapped around me. When I eat rice with a soup, I feel like I just jumped into the pool. When I eat rice porridge, I feel like I became a baby again eating baby foods sitting in my high chair. When I eat rice with crabs, I feel like I am standing at the beach watching little crabs walking on sand.

I like rice because when I eat rice with other foods, I can have all these imaginary feelings and be happy.
