Rekai loved to eat
pancakes more
than anything in the
whole world.
He loved pancakes so
very much. He simply
refused to eat any
other food!
Rekai’s mom said,
“Eat some good
food. Have some
veggies and fruit!
And don’t forget
water and juice.”
But Rekai shook his head
and said, “NO!
I don’t want to. Only
pancakes will do!”
Then his mom had an
idea. “I know
how to get Rekai to eat
healthy food!” she said.
She mixed up a batch
of some extra
special
pancakes with
a surprise ingredient.
Mom watched as he
gobbled them
up, and she was very
pleased.
Softly, she giggled
and thought, this
is great. He
has no idea what he
has just eaten!
Then, one day, Rekai
caught Mom adding
butternut to his
pancakes and he was
very surprised. “Your
secret ingredient is a
vegetable?”
he cried.
To this day he enjoys
eating his pancakes,
and every day Mom
adds many yummy
surprises.
Sometimes she adds
spinach. Sometimes she
adds carrots. Sometimes
she adds strawberries, or
even apples.
It’s a fun surprise
every
single
time.
