Abstract

A new side dish is completed thanks to the kindness of the side dishes! This is a cute story about the interactions between the side dishes that unfold on a train platform, such as Cheese Hamburger wrapping cheese around the neck of Asparagus Bacon, who is feeling cold, and Asparagus Bacon wrapping bacon around Cabbage Rolls, who has hurt his back. The story features side dishes that children love, including Omelette, Chicken Rice, Hamburger, Asparagus Bacon, Cabbage Rolls, and Broccoli!
