The parent habitually cooks rice, but today the small child eagerly wants to help.
So the child adds some salt to the rice.
Then, they must wait while the rice boils.
Because of that, the child forgets that they added salt. So they add it again.
The rice is ready. The family puts on the table and sits to eat. The mother tries to eat it, but stops after one bite.
The father too tries, and says, “The rice is… special!”
The child asks happily: “Good?”
“Special,” the parent replies, and smiles.
Then the child remembers that they added salt twice! But they are proud for their help, so they eat all the rice.
