The Rice Myth


In the beginning of China, a giant rainstorm came and the lands were flooded. Plants started to die and only a few animals roamed the wetlands, which made hunting very difficult for the people. One day, a dog came bounding across the land shedding as he ran. As he approached the people, they noticed that the fur he was shedding was really little seeds! In the spots that the dog had run over, rice plants started to grow. That is the rice myth.

To the left is a picture of a rice plant.
