Our Soup
Rosa: Okay, we’re making soup. First, cut the onion.
Son: It’s making me cry!
Rosa: That’s normal. Now the carrot and the potato. Cut them small.
Son: Like this?
Rosa: Perfect. Then add water, salt, and a little pepper.
Son: And rice?
Rosa: Yes, a little rice. Now we wait.
(Twenty minutes later, the son tastes the soup.)
Son: Mom... this is the best soup in the world.
Rosa: No. It’s our soup. That’s better than the best.
