	Mother Sachi Cooks.
	
	One day Mother Sachi offered food to Bala Gopal. She (1) offered  rice, different
	(2) kinds  of vegetables, spinach, curry made of banana flowers, fried patola with
	nimba leaves, pieces of ginger (3) with  lemon, and also yogurt, milk, sugar
	candy (4) and  many other foods.
	
	After the (5) food  was offered Mother Sachi took the plate. Just then she began
	to think of Nimai. All of (6) these  foods were Nimai's favorites. She was thinking,
	"Nimai is not here. Who will (7) accept  all this food?" As she meditated upon
	Nimai in this way, her eyes (8) filled  with tears.
	
	While she (9) was  remembering Nimai and crying, Lord Chaitanya went there
	quickly and ate everything. Then, when Mother Sachi saw the (10) plate  was
	empty, she wiped her tears away. She then began to wonder (11) who  had eaten
	all that food. "Why is the plate empty?" she wondered. (12) She  was not sure that
	Bala Gopala had eaten (13) it  all.
	
	Then she began to wonder if there had been anything (14) on  the plate in the first
	place. Or perhaps some animal might have (15) come  and eaten everything. Next
	she thought ,"Perhaps by mistake I (16) did  not put any food on the plate." So
	
	thinking, she (17) went  into the kitchen and saw the pots. When she saw that all
	the (18) pots  were still filled with rice and vegetables, she was surprised.
	
	Now whenever Mother Sachi (19) cooks  Nimai's favorite dishes she remembers
	her beloved Nimai and cries. Because her love for Nimai is so (20) great , The
	Lord Himself comes to her house to (21) accept  all her offerings.
