还记得是这样一个故事：很久以前，一位天界的仙女来到人间，和一个凡人相爱、成亲了。很快，他们有了一个儿子，一家人生活十分幸福。但消息传到了王母娘娘耳朵里，她勃然大怒，立即派遣天兵天将前去捉拿。那个凡人与爱妻分离，心如刀割，忧思成疾，不久便与世长辞了。仙女知道后悲痛欲绝，又舍不下年幼的儿子，便携了一钵米，偷偷来到人间。一段时间没见，儿子饿的面黄肌瘦，靠吃些野菜充饥。仙女心疼内疚之际，赶紧把那钵米塞到儿子的手里，郑重其事地对他说：“孩子，娘照顾不了你了，这钵米是我唯一能给你的，它能让你成年前不受饥饿之苦。你好生记着，一次最多只能煮一粒米，记住，一粒米！”说完便行色匆匆的飞走了。那孩子实在饿坏了，眼满分/泪还挂在眼边儿，就急忙把锅里盛上水，要煮饭吃。他想起娘亲的嘱咐：“一次就煮一粒米！”心里暗自嘀咕：一粒米怎么够吃呢，干脆把这一钵米都煮了好了。接着就把这一钵米都倒了下去。米粒刚一到锅里，就快活地游起来。小孩觉得好玩，并伏在锅前看。渐渐的，米粒慢慢变大，慢慢松软，慢慢膨胀，散发出诱人的香气。起初，米饭像一朵蘑菇；接着，似一个馒头；然后，如一朵白莲花；最后，像一锅沸水，不断地朝外面涌出来。小孩子慌乱极了，一会儿用手去接，一会儿拿嘴去够。锅里“咕噜咕噜”地响，米饭爆炸似的，涌满了灶台，涌满了厨房，涌满了房子，甚至把家旁的河流也涌满了，成了一条“米河”。小孩逃也没处逃，最后被喷涌而出的米饭淹没了。
Fairy weeps at the same time in the sky, say bitterly at the same time: “ child ah, you how not obedient! A rice it may not be a bad idea, rice of one earthen bowl, use well, ability lets it produce his effect! ”
仙女在天上一边流泪，一边悲痛地说：“孩儿啊，你怎么就不听话呢！一粒米也好，一钵米也罢，好好利用，才能让它发挥自己的作用啊！”(文/刘馨炀)
