A man had to go on a long travel. He hid his money in a pot and put butter over it. So nobody could see what was there under the butter in the pot.

Then he took the pot to his neighbor and said,”Please keep this pot of butter for me till I come back.” He did not say anything about the money in the pot.

A month passed. Two months passed. But the traveller did not come back. His neighbour thought, “I’m afraid the butter in the pot is bad.” And he took all the butter out of the pot and saw money there.

He took the money for himself and put many small stones into the pot in the place of money. When the traveller came back, he asked his neighbour for the pot. He carried it home and took out all the butter. He wanted to take the money. But he found only many small stones under the butter. He was very angry.

Let us go to the forest.” And the two friends went to the forest, caught a monkey there and brought it home. “Now you go to your neighbour and say, “Please let your son come with me to the market”. “He can help me to carry food from the market”.

Basic recipe

• 1 cup basmati rice per serving (or weigh 75g per person) • Knob of butter or ½ tbsp oil (optional)

1. Measure the rice into a cup and level the top, or weigh the amount of servings you want into a jug and note the liquid level it comes up to.

2. Rinse the rice thoroughly in cold water until the water is clear. If you have time, soak the rice in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This will help the grains cook more evenly. 3. Pour the rice into a pan over a low heat, then add the butter or oil, if using, and stir to coat the rice grains.

4. Add double the amount of water (2 cups, or 150ml water for a 75g serving) plus some salt, if you like. To shorten the cooking time, add boiling water.

5. Bring to a boil. Swirl the rice in the pan (or stir once) to make sure it’s well distributed.

6. Put a lid on and turn the heat down to as low as possible. If you cook the rice on too high heat, it will cook too quickly and may end up chalky in the center.

7. Cook for 10 mins and do not take the lid off. Check the rice is cooked at the end by trying a grain. Keep cooking for another couple of mins if it isn’t quite ready, then turn the heat off.

8. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve it straightaway if you like, but if you cover it with a tea towel for 10 minutes any residual water is absorbed. You can then fluff up the grains for an even better texture.

30. The text is useful for the readers to ….

• A. be able to measure rice

• B. know how to cook rice well

• C. be informed how to save rice

• D. be encouraged to make rice soft
