Every week, Fay looks forward to Thursday the most—the day her mother has off.
On this day, Mom picks her up from school and cooks with her!
Fay has never eaten bitter gourd before because her mother always said,
“Bitter gourd is very bitter.”
What if she grew her own bitter gourd?
Would Mom find it delicious?
One Thursday, Fay makes a deal with her mom:
“When the bitter gourd I planted grows up, can we eat it together?”
