Story Details

Little Spoon loved to sing. Each food got its own new tune. A slurp of soup? *Swoosh-swoosh-slurp!* A bite of bread? *Chomp-crumble-munch!*

But Little Spoon had a big dream. He dreamed of a giant curry, spicy and swirling with colors! It came from a far-off land. He felt so small and plain. Could he ever taste such a grand dish?

"Oh, I am just a plain spoon," he sighed to old Chopstick. "That curry is too big for me!"

Wise old Chopstick clicked. "Taste with joy!" he chirped. "Like The Little Red Hen shared her best bread. Try everything new!"

So, Little Spoon tried. First, a tiny taste of yellow rice. *Hum-yum-yellow!* Then, a small drop of red tomato sauce. *Drip-drop-red!* Next, he scooped a bit of green pea stew. *Pea-pop-green!*

Each taste made his hum louder. Each spoonful made him bigger inside.

One day, a huge pot appeared. Swirling with orange, red, and brown. Steam rose, smelling of spices! It was the far-off curry! Little Spoon felt a tingle.

He remembered Chopstick's words. He remembered The Little Red Hen. He took a deep breath. He plunged in!

*Curry-swirl-spice-zing!* His hum became a grand song. He was not too small. He was just right.
