The Myth of the Sun and the Moon
A woman was walking home from work when a tiger blocked her path. She decided to give him one of her precious rice cakes and hoped it would be enough to keep him occupied while she ran away. Rice cakes are made from a combination of rice flour and tapioca starch. They are chewy and can be eaten many ways, including in a spicy sauce or sweetened to make dessert. But after eating the treat, the tiger saw that the woman had left and he hurried after her. He ran around the woman quickly and waited for her at the bottom of the next hill. I'm going to need more of those delicious, perfectly chewy rice cakes, he said.
