rainbow
After it rains, lots of tiny droplets of water remain in the sky, and when sunlight hits those droplets, the light is split into various colors. Then a large, arch-like band of colors appears in the sky. That is a rainbow. A rainbow displays beautiful colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple—lined up in order, and it fills those who see it with excitement.

See the answer
cat

If you drop it, it will break; it has a round shape; you use it when you eat rice—what is it?
See the answer
rice bowl; tea bowl; chawan (Japanese bowl for tea or rice)
A rice bowl has a round shape and is used for holding rice to eat. Usually, it’s made of pottery or glass, so if you accidentally drop it, it can break. That’s why you should handle it gently when eating at home. Its round shape and just-right size for holding rice help everyone enjoy their meals.
Very heavy, very big, and it keeps food cold—what is it?
See the answer
refrigerator
It's the place where we put food and juice every day. Even on hot days, it keeps food and drinks cold, protecting them so they don’t spoil. When you want cold ice cream or juice, you can open this big box and take them out. The refrigerator is a friend to the food in your home.
