Once upon a time, there lived a group of food items in a kitchen. The milk carton, pasta box, cake tin, juice bottle, sweets jar and vegetables, carrot and cabbage. One day, they decided to have a party and invited all other food items from the kitchen.
But, when it was time to serve the food, they noticed that the main dish, pasta, was missing! They searched the entire kitchen but couldn't find it anywhere. Suddenly, the carrot suggested, "What if we use the cabbage as a substitute for pasta?"
The other foods laughed, but then realized it was a great idea! They quickly chopped up the cabbage and mixed it with the milk and juice to make a delicious sauce.
The cake became the main dish, and the sweets and carrot were used as decorations. The party was a huge success, and everyone enjoyed their "pasta" made of cabbage. From that day on, they never took their food roles too seriously and always had fun experimenting with new recipes.

The end.

Reflections

1. How did the food items feel when they couldn't find the pasta?
2. Why did the carrot suggest using cabbage as a substitute for pasta?
3. What other food items were invited to the party?
4. How did the party turn out in the end?
5. What did the food items learn from this experience?
