going, I fell into a paddle of water. Then a guy
helped me stand up. When I looked up, I
recognized him. Momentarily, I forgot that I
was soaking wet and that I was very cold. He
offered to walk me home, and I just nodded.
The next day, he and I saw each other at
school. At last, we talked like old friends.

rinse off the rice. Swish the rice gently with
your finger and rub lightly. Next, pour out the
