After washing and preparing the vegetables, the boy said to the mother that (unlike the other day) the curry tasted very delicious, and he wanted to know what other ingredients were added to make it so tasty. His mother replied that she didn't add any spice, so it may be the bird poop which made the curry so tasty.
