Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a group of friends: Dice the rabbit, Ice the polar bear, Mice the mice, and Nice the fox. They all lived together in a cozy little forest and spent their days playing and having fun.

One day, Dice came up with an idea to make a delicious meal for his friends. He said, "I'm going to make a big pot of rice and we can all have a nice feast together!" His friends were excited and helped him gather all the ingredients.

Ice went to get some ice from the nearby river to cool down the rice. Mice went to gather some wild berries to add to the dish. Nice went to the market to buy some spices, but she was shocked when she saw the price of everything. "This is too expensive!" she exclaimed.

But Dice had a clever idea. "Let's play a game of dice to see who can roll the highest number. Whoever wins gets to choose the spice that we'll use for our rice dish." They all agreed and played the game. Mice was lucky and rolled the highest number, so she got to choose the spice.

They finally had all the ingredients and began preparing the rice. They added in the wild berries and the spice that Mice had chosen. It smelled delicious! They cooked the rice to perfection and then sliced it up into nice, big portions.

Just as they were about to dig in, Dice remembered something. "Wait! We need to do this twice! We have to make enough for tomorrow too!" So they cooked and sliced twice as much rice as they needed and enjoyed their feast.

From that day on, they always made sure to make extra rice so they could enjoy it twice as much. And they lived happily ever after.

The end.
