This chapter teaches us about the food we eat, the joy of sharing, and the importance of not wasting what we have.
The lesson begins in a park where a teacher and her students gather with their lunchboxes. The children bring different delicious foods like poori with dalma, poori with aloo dum, aloo paratha, chakuli, idli with chutney, fruits, and cake. When one girl shares that her mother is sick and could not pack any food, her caring classmates happily offer their own food to her. This shows how good it is to care for our friends and share our meals.
Next, a sweet poem reminds us that food is a gift from God. We get a wide variety of tasty fruits, vegetables, and sweets that fill our tummies and give us energy. Because food is a blessing, we must always be thankful and never waste it.
The chapter also shares a fun story about a hungry gorilla who visits a house. The polite gorilla asks two children for bananas, biscuits, and apples. The children kindly share their snacks until the gorilla eats them all. When their mother returns and asks where the food has gone, the children happily tell her that everything is inside the gorilla's tummy.
Finally, the chapter helps us learn where our food comes from. Farmers work very hard in the fields to grow grains, fruits, and vegetables. They also look after cows that give us milk for curd and butter, and some keep bees to give us sweet honey. We must always respect our food, thank our hardworking farmers, and remember to never waste a single bite.
