Junior Vocab
Lunch Swap
Ananya: "Look, Amma packed lemon rice and potato fry for my lunch. What did you get, Rishi?"
Rishi: "Just boring roti and dal... again."
Ananya: "Hey, roti and dal are yummy! My Thatha eats them and says they make him strong."
Rishi: "But everyone always wants to see your dabba, not mine. I feel... I don’t know… small."
Ananya: "Small? Your roti has those brown spots like tiny moons. And your dal smells so good!"
Rishi: "You really think so? I just wish I could feel prouder of it."
Ananya: "Let’s swap one piece. I’ll eat your moon roti, you eat my yellow rice sun."
Rishi: "Okay… mmm! Your lemon rice is so tangy! My tongue is dancing."
Ananya: "Your dal is so warm and soft. It tastes like Sunday at my Paati’s house."
Rishi: "Now I’m actually prouder of my lunch. It’s like home in a box."
Ananya: "Me too. I’m prouder of mine now that I shared it. Our dabbas are like best friends!"
Teacher: "I love how you two shared and made each other prouder of what you have. Pass me a tiny moon roti, please?"
