Grandpa is in the kitchen. He stirs a very big pot on the stove.Lily and Lu join him.“Yay!” Lily claps her hands. “Grandpa’s cooking! What is in the big pot?”“Is it soup?” asks Lu.“No,” says Grandpa.“Is it rice?” asks Lily.“There is rice in the pot,” says Grandpa. “But there are many other thingsin the pot, too.”“I know!” says Lily. “It’s porridge!”“That’s right!” says Grandpa. “It’s Laba porridge. We will eat it todayand celebrate sharing.”“It looks good,” says Lily. “Can I stir it?”“Sure!” says Grandpa.“Why do we eat this holiday porridge” asks Lu.“That’s a good question,” Grandpa says. “I will tell you the story. Longago, the Buddha was a monk. Like the others, he meditated. He meditated and forgot to eat!”“Wow!” says Lu. “I never forget to eat. What happened next?”“He meditated for a long time,” says Grandpa. “He didn’t eat at all. He didn’t even move. One day, a girl found him. He was very thin. He lookedsick. The girl tried to wake him. But he didn’t wake up.”Lu put his hand over his mouth. “Oh, no!”“What did she do?” asks Lily.“She went home,” says Grandpa.“She left him?” asks Lily.“Not quite,” says Grandpa. “When she got home, she looked in her rice pot. It was nearly empty. She found some red beans, fruit, and seeds.She put them all into the pot.”“Just like your pot!” says Lu.“That’s right,” says Grandpa. He helps Lu pour red beans in the pot. Lily stirs.“The girl took a bowl of food to the Buddha,” says Grandpa. “She helped him eat. She saved his life!”“Wow!” says Lily. “She gave him the first Laba porridge?”“Yes, Lily,” says Grandpa. “She shared her food. And now, we share it with our family every year.”“Is it ready?” asks Lu. “It smells great! Can we share it now?”“Yes!” says Grandpa. They sit at the table together.“Look at all the colors in my bowl!” says Lily.“It tastes great!” says Lu. “I like this holiday!”
