Shay can never hold her chopsticks (筷子) well. "Like this, Jiajia." her mother holds out her own chopsticks and called Shay's Chinese name. Shay tries but it's too difficult. She makes a face. "I don't want to. Everyone at Abigail's house uses spoons and forks (叉子)." she says and reaches for a spoon.
The next day, Shay's mother prepared noodles for her lunch. Chopsticks, too. Only chopsticks. "I have two forks," Abigail says, "You can borrow if you like." Abigail can't use chopsticks at all, but she doesn't have to. She is pretty and blond and has a last name that isn't Chinese. "Yes, please!" Shay says, "Thanks, Abigail!"
After dinner, Shay sits with her mother at the desk. she takes out some drawing things from the desk. "What do you want to draw?" Mom asks. "A dragon!" Shay says. At school, her class is reading stories and her favorite characters are always dragons. They are big and strong, and they breathe fire (喷火). Mother also draws quietly with Shay, side by side. Shay draws a fire-breathing dragon and she turns to her mother's drawing: a snakelike animal with big teeth. It's a Chinese dragon, a long.
"That's pretty, mom!" Shay says. "I wish long had wings (翅膀). Then they could fly like my dragon does." "They do fly and they can swim, too. The long is a dragon as I know it. And this is a dragon as you know it. But they are both dragons." Mom points to Shay's drawing. "Oh," says Shay, "So it's just like how I know forks and you know chopsticks?" Mother thinks for a while and laughs. "Yes. Just like that. There really is no wrong way to eat, you can use forks or you can use chopsticks."

a. Mom taught Shay to use chopsticks.
b. Mom accepted different ways to eat.
c. Mom draws the animal-long.
