Dora was first in the line to enter the bus. After traveling for 1 hour, they reach the rice fields. Dora gets down from the bus and says “Oh, these fields look so beautiful.
Teacher, Children, we are going to go inside the fields. As we go around, I will explain all about rice. Rice is called a staple food because we can eat it every day. Rice fields are also called paddy fields.
Harsh Kumar Dora Lee Dora, Look! Look! Magic. Dora says, “Where is the magic?” Harsh says, “See, plants are swimming in the water. Teacher good observation, Harsh! It’s because rice grows in paddy fields, i.e., fields that have soil and are flooded with shallow water.
Teacher Children come on we are going to meet the farmer uncle. Dora Lee Mia Chen Harsh Kumar Hello Farmer uncle Farmer Raj Children This is a rice plant that looks like long grass with flattened leaves and at the top, they have a flower-bearing stalk with rice grains. After the rice plant is fully grown, it is harvested i.e. the plant is taken out from the field then the stock is cleaned and the grains are removed. “Children come with me I will show you how the rice is finally packed”.
Dora Lee “Oh, can we see how the grain looks like? Farmer Raj says, “Yes of course. Come with me.”. The door of the room is narrow. They all enter the room but as Dora is very healthy she tries to enter the room but she gets stuck. Dora says “I have got stuck. Errrr … I can’t come inside. Mia Chen Harsh Kumar Wait Dora, we will pull you together” and they grab her hand and start pulling “Dum laga ke haisha, zor laga ke haisha!” Dora finally comes inside and says “Thank you all for helping me”.
Farmer Raj Children, the grain is covered with an outer layer called ‘husk’. The middle layer is called ‘bran’ and the inside there is the rice grain. The layers are removed by a process called ‘milling’. After milling, the rice grains are polished and packed to be ready for use. And we preserve it in gunny or jute bags. We have two types of rice – white rice and brown rice. The rice grains can also be either short grain or long grain.
