Ananya: "My tummy is singing now. Your lunch looks so bright, like a sunshine festival."
Rafi: "Really? Yesterday someone said it looked weird and yellow."
Ananya: "Weird? No way. It looks yummy. I wish I could steal one potato."

Ananya: "Your shirt is special too. Those tiny rockets look like they’re ready to zoom."
Rafi: "My rockets? They’re just old. Amma says they’re faded."
Ananya: "I like them. They look soft, like they’ve been on many adventures."
Rafi: "You keep saying nice things and my heart feels like a balloon."
Amma: "I heard that, Ananya. Those are lovely compliments you’re giving Rafi."
Ananya: "Compliments are like little gifts, na? But you don’t have to wrap them."
Rafi: "Then I want to give some too. Your plait looks so neat, like a swing with no knots."
