David stood in the kitchen. He waited for
Grandpa to finish washing his hands. Today,
Grandpa was teaching David how to cook.
David was excited, but he was also nervous.
What if he added the wrong ingredients or put
in too much salt? Then his food wouldn’t taste
good, and no one would eat it.
Once Grandpa had washed his hands, he pointed to the supplies on the
table.
“Let’s start by putting water in a pot and letting it boil,” Grandpa said.
David could do that. He found the large pot, filled it with water from the
sink, and put it on the stove. Grandpa showed him how to safely turn on the
stove.
“Now we can chop up the vegetables and measure our spices,” Grandpa
said. “I can do the chopping while you do the measuring.”

By the time the vegetables were put into the oven, the water in the pot
was boiling. Grandpa helped David add rice to the water. He also showed David
how to grill slices of chicken in a flat pan.
Soon, the food had all been prepared. David and Grandpa put away all the
supplies. They wiped off the table and put out plates, forks, and napkins. Then
they sat at the table to eat.
Would the food be good or bad? David took the first bite. He chewed
slowly.
Then he smiled.
