Remember to eat,” she said, handing a rice ball to Maria. “This is for you, make sure to eat something.” Maria was pleasantly surprised and politely declined, saying she had just eaten. “It’s okay, I really just ate. You should keep it, Granny,” she replied. But the elderly lady insisted, “It’s alright! Beautiful girls need to stay healthy; it makes Granny happy.”
