Story: The Great Cooking Contest
Let us read
THE GREAT COOKING CONTEST
Gayathri was a cute girl. She liked to cook and make crafts.
She helped in the kitchen but she is not allowed near the stove.
One day, her school posted a note with the name “THE GREAT COOKING CONTEST.” It said that children must cook without fire. All in Gayathri’s class took part in the contest.
She told her mom about the contest and asked her help. Gayathri said, ”A fruit salad will not make me win.” Mom said, “Why don’t you try AVAL LADDU? It is easy and tasty.”She learned to make AVAL LADDU.
She was ready for the contest. On the day, all were busy with peeling and cutting. Gayathri did not panic and took her time to start.
She took a cup of AVAL and soaked it in water. Then, she added nuts and honey. She mixed them well and rolled them into eight LADDUS.
Gayathri’s name was called. She took the AVAL LADDUS and ran. CRASH! She fell down and her LADDUS got crushed.
She was sad. She took it to the school head. The head tasted the crushed LADDUS and said, “Your AVAL BOONDHI is really tasty!”
The time had come to name the winner. The school head on the mike said, “Gayathri of class 3, is the winner.” Gayathri was very happy.
