Yesterday, when Agnes picked up the kids from school, Miranda was starving. She went to our pantry and started rummaging through it for food. On the shelves that she could reach, she found only paper towels, uncooked rice, and bonito flakes.
Miranda grabbed the bonito flakes and said “I want this!”
Agnes told her that she had to eat it with something else, like rice, and Miranda said “I want rice!”
Fortunately, Agnes had started cooking the rice before picking up the kids, and it was ready. She put some rice in a bowl and poured some bonito flakes on it. Miranda said that Agnes hadn’t put enough on. After pouring a little more, she said it was enough.
Miranda ate that bowl, and two other bowls of rice with more bonito flakes for dinner.
