Rice, Paddy, and Short Story about It
Rice comes from paddy. Rice is the core/ basic food for Nusantarians, especially people of Indonesia. The Capital City of Indonesia is Jakarta, located in Java Island. Java or Jawa (Jawawut) means paddy. So Java Island is the island of paddy. That's why eating rice is obligatory in Java.
I have written a flash fiction ( mini fable short story) about planting process of paddy. I use this fable to show the importance of individual freedom to grow, respect, independence, and interdependence in team.
