One day, a group of kids went to see a chef. They were super excited and said, “Hi, chef. We want six burgers, please.” The chef smiled and said, “Six burgers? Coming right up!”
The chef started making the burgers. He counted everything carefully to make sure he had enough for everyone.
The chef looked at the burgers and said, “Now we have one, two, three, four, five, six burgers for one, two, three, four, five, six kids! All done. Enjoy your meal!”
Before eating, the kids had some special requests:
While the chef was making the special burgers, one boy pointed and said, “Look! An octopus playing an octobass! And some oysters singing opera.” This funny scene made everyone laugh and added fun to the kitchen.
The kids and the chef had a great time making and eating the burgers. It was fun to see how everyone liked their burgers a little differently. Cooking can be creative and exciting, especially when you make it your own!
Counting Ingredients at Home: Next time you help in the kitchen, try counting the ingredients just like the chef did. For example, if you’re making a sandwich, count the slices of bread, cheese, and any other toppings. How many different combinations can you make with the ingredients you have?
Create Your Own Burger: Draw a picture of your perfect burger. Think about what you would like on it. Would you want extra pickles, lettuce, or maybe double cheese? Share your drawing with your family and explain why you chose those ingredients.
Observe and Report: Next time you eat out or have a meal at home, observe how different people like their food. Do they have special requests like the kids in the story? Write down or draw what you notice and discuss why people might like different things on their burgers.
