Most of the field had been planted by machine, but there is some empty space.
First, let's look at a rice seed and a rice plant baby. You see the plant baby still has outer shell of rice seed.
Did you see how the machine works? Now, you find your space to plant rice.
Let's plant rice! You are already like an expert.
Many parents enjoy, too!
Look. Everyone concentrates on planting. It is fun!
"Here, I found a water bug." "He has his eggs on his back." "You can grow rice plant in a bucket at home."
