My favorite
food
BY

y favorite food is rice. My mom calls
me “Rice Bowl” because I can take
a lot of rice like a rice bowl. I know
there are a lot of foods more delicious than
rice, but it seems for me, I only love rice. I have
to eat rice every day. If one day I don’t have
rice or I drop some on the floor by accident, I
feel disappointed or unhappy. Life is just like
a broken rice bowl. No matter how sad I am, it
still doesn’t fix the bowl that I broke. Sometimes
when something happens, we have to let it go
and think, at least the broken bowl didn’t cut
my hand.
I love rice just like I love the fresh air
that makes me feel good. Rice is just like
vitamins in my body. Without it, I won’t
die, but I will be sick. Sometimes, I think
happiness can be very simple; you only
need one glass of water and a bowl of rice.
The needs of people are not that great.
But people are always thinking they want
more and more. They confuse the idea of
“want” and “need”. When I think about the
things in life that I have lost and gained, I
feel grateful even if I only have a bowl of
rice. I think I would like to change the word
“carbohydrate” to “happy-hydrate” because
I’m happy if I have rice.

Who
feels happy
think too much
when I eat chocolate, confused when I
about religion,
relaxed when I feel the
sea
breeze at the beach.
Who needs
air to live, smiles to forget
all issues, pleasure
to satiate my body.
Who gives help
when somebody needs it, love to
my
family, friendship when you know me.
Who fears going wrong,
what will happen in the next life, and
having everything I’ve dreamed about.
Who would
like to
see the earth from space, because it is
something totally different than all nature.
