So, she takes her daughter one day into their kitchen.
She takes the pot and puts the boiling water into it and then takes from her kitchen three different items, and places them into the pot.
The carrots, they were softened by the water, and the egg, it became a little bit tougher.
And the coffee beans, they changed the color of the water and gave it a different aroma.
The mother says to her daughter that each one of these things was put to the same test.
But each one responded differently.
