[The scene opens in a traditional Indian kitchen. Krishna is sitting on a wooden stool, and Maa is busy cooking.]

Krishna: (smiling) Maa, why do we eat quinoa on Janmashtami?

Maa: (stirring a pot) Well, Krishna, quinoa is a nutritious grain, and it’s a part of our healthy diet. But there’s a special story behind it too.

Krishna: (curious) A story? Tell me, Maa!

Maa: (pauses and begins to tell the story) Long ago, when you were a little child, you loved butter, Krishna.

Krishna: (grinning) I still do, Maa!

Maa: (chuckles) Yes, you do! One day, you and your friends, the Gopis, decided to have a butter-stealing contest. But you always had a big heart, Krishna, and you wanted to make sure everyone had a nutritious meal.

Krishna: (nodding) That’s right, Maa.

Maa: So, you suggested using quinoa instead of butter for the contest. Quinoa is rich in protein and essential nutrients, and you knew it would be a healthier option.

Krishna: (smiling) I wanted everyone to be strong and healthy, Maa.

Maa: (continues) Exactly, Krishna. So, instead of stealing butter, you all cooked delicious quinoa dishes together and shared them with the whole village.

Krishna: (reflecting) That was a wonderful day, Maa.

Maa: (finishing her cooking) Yes, it was. And since then, we celebrate Janmashtami by enjoying quinoa dishes to remember your kindness and the importance of good nutrition.

Krishna: (grateful) Thank you, Maa. I’m glad we eat quinoa on this special day.

Maa: (serving a plate of quinoa) Here’s your plate, Krishna. Let’s enjoy our meal and celebrate your birth with love and gratitude.

[They both sit down to eat, savoring the nutritious quinoa dishes prepared with love.]

[The scene fades out with Krishna and Maa enjoying their meal together, symbolizing the spirit of sharing and nourishing both body and soul on Krishna Janmashtami.]
