The Green Wired Thingy

By Hinako

My name is Kai. I live in a small town called Cedarville. I love my mom and
my dream is to be a big and tough guy like my dad. Oh, it is almost dinner

time. I am so so hungry. Wait... I can see something green in the pan... It must

be…
“What is today’s dinner, mom?”
“It is Chinese fried beef and green bell pepper with bamboo sprouts.”

“Oh, no, mom. I told you that I do not like that green wired thingy.” The

green weird thing tastes bitter, so I hate it. She must be picking on me, Ewwww.
”Hey, Kai. You shouldn’t be picky. You wanna be like a dad, huh? Then

you have to eat them all.”
She must be evil. I really wanna go and see her past life. Where is the

time machine? I need to call Doraemon.
“Hey, boy. Can you hear me?”

Huh? Someone is calling me from somewhere. Where is it...? “What’s!?”
“Don’t scream in the house! What happened?”

“No, no, no. Never mind, mom. Nothing, nothing.”
“Don’t scare me. Hey, eat dinner before it gets cold.”

“Gotcha, gotcha.”
Why in the world is the green weird thingy is speaking? Wait, wait, I am so

confused.
“Hello??? Can you hear me?” Oh, no, it is still speaking. “Are you really

speaking?”
“You can hear me, huh? Don’t ignore me, picky boy. I know that you hate

me.”
“I didn’t say I hate you. I just...just...I am not good at something bitter.”

“I know what you mean. I have met many kids who do not like the taste of
me. But you better give it a try. I have a life just like you. You have to be

thankful for eating a life.”
I do not really understand what the green thingy is saying, but I know

that he is saying the right thing.
“Then eat me!! Be brave, picky boy!”
