Volume II · Scene 25 of 30
A plate for each person
The story
Rumo is about to put the same food on every plate. Tila asks him to stop and ask first. People can have different needs and preferences. Adults take these into account when preparing food. There are different foods on the table. Neri explains that oil is one part of a meal. It does not replace everything else. Leo remembers the bread, vegetables and fruit from the garden stories. Ada draws an extra place setting, ready for a guest. Sami moves along a little. Rumo listens to the answers before serving. The table becomes more welcoming. Nobody has to be the same as everyone else.
Let’s talk about it
