Pablo's family plans a big holiday dinner soon. His grandmother wants to make her old stew. His mother wants to try a new dish.

They ask Pablo to help decide. "Which one do you like more?" his mother asks. Pablo does not want to upset anyone.

He walks between the kitchen and the stove. Both smells fill the whole house. He cannot pick a favorite by smell alone.

He does not want to choose just one. Both dishes deserve a place at the table. An idea slowly forms in his mind.
他不想只选一道。两道菜在餐桌上都应该有位置。一个主意慢慢在他心里成形。
"Why not make both dishes this year?" Pablo asks. His grandmother and mother look at each other. They both smile and agree happily.
“今年为什么不两道都做呢？”巴勃罗问。奶奶和妈妈互相看了看。她们都笑了，高兴地答应了。
