　　Have you ever eaten rice? Do you eat it every day? Do you know where it comes from? What we eat are grains of rice, called “Gu” in China. The husks of the grains are polished off, and the polished grains are called “Mi.” Once those grains are cooked, they’re called “Fan.” A farmer has to raise all of the rice that we eat. Readers visit a farm and learn more about a hard-working rice farmer’s life.
