After school, Rani feels hungry.

She calls out, “Ma, I'm hungry! Please give me something to eat.”

Next door, Bala feels hungry.

She calls out, “Aunty, I'm hungry! Please give me something to eat.”

Ma makes khichdi from rice and lentils for Rani.

“But I don’t like khichdi!” Rani sighs.

Ma says,“Khichdi is good for you, Rani."

“ Go on, eat it."

Rani walks outside with her bowl of khichdi still feeling hungry.

Next door, Aunty prepares noodles for Bala.

“But I don’t like noodles!” Bala sighs.

Aunty says, “Noodles are good for you, Bala."

“ Go on, eat.”

Bala walks outside with her bowl of noodles still feeling hungry.

Rani notices Bala's bowl of noodles and says, “Oh! I love noodles!”

Bala replies, “And I love khichdi!”

Rani happily gives her khichdi to Bala.

And Bala happily gives her noodles to Rani.

“YUM! These noodles are delicious!”

“YUM! This khichdi is so

good! ”

Ma walks out and sees Rani eating noodles.

Aunty comes out and sees Bala eating khichdi.

Ma and Aunty look at each other and smile.

Aunty says, “The girls are so happy to share their food!"
