Just Add a Speck of Magic

The Magic of Rainbow Rice Cake Minsoon came back from school and found that there was a full plate of rainbow rice cakes! It is not the same color as the rainbow, but it is called rainbow rice cake because there are many colors of rice cake. “Look at that!” said Minsoon with a smile. It reminds Minsoon of good memories in Korea. Minsoon visited Korea last year with his family. When he arrived at the airport in Korea, his grandmother was there to see Minsoon’s family, and she had a small bag in her hand. As soon as Minsoon’s grandma saw Minsoon, she said to Minsoon, “Minsoon, you must be hungry. Please have this rice cake. You must like it. Its name is rainbow rice cake as you can see the color on it.” When Minsoon saw and ate the cake, he said “Wow, what a beautiful rice cake! It looks like a magic cake! And it is so chewy and sweet. I love it.” With his memorable experience with the rice cake, he wondered if he could take just one. However, his mom wasn’t there, but he wanted to eat one! So, he ate just one bite of the first color of the layer of the rice cake. It was a red one like the first color of the rainbow. And suddenly, he fell asleep and dreamed about love. Love is full of heart and cares for others with a warm heart, and the most important thing is how much you love others and are being loved. The dream takes him to the world of love. When he was there, he saw a family, and the people next to each other had a heart shape on their head. Whenever they showed their love to each other, the heart was added on their head one by one, and their smile looked bigger and bigger. Minsoon felt warmer and melted down with love. When he woke up, he really wanted to show his love to his family as he saw. He wanted to show his family about love, so he wrote love poetry to his mom. [Do not Change] I love you because you give me love. I love you because you give me kisses
