故事简介

“你对面包敏感。”

就因为妈妈这句话，美佳十六年来都没尝过面包的滋味。

班上的同学用奇怪的眼光看她，去吃面包都不约她。

有一天，她经不起同学的挑衅，跟着他们去了一家新开的面包店。

一个面包师傅捧着面包来到美佳面前，要她尝尝。美佳吃了生平第一个面包，却什么事也没有发生。那个面包师傅还说美佳是面包公主，天生有一条吃面包的舌头。

美佳不知道妈妈为什么不让她吃面包，更不明白为什么那个面包师傅知道很多有关她的事情。到底，大人们藏着什么秘密？

“You are allergic to bread.”

Because of what her mother said, Mei Jia had never tasted bread for the past sixteen years.

Her classmates thought she was odd, and never asked her along when going for bread.

One day, she could not stand her classmates’ provocation and followed them to a newly opened bakery.

A baker brought bread to Mei Jia for her to try. Mei Jia ate bread for the first time in her life, but nothing happened. The baker even said Mei Jia was the “Princess of Bread”, as she was born to have a good taste for it.

Mei Jia did not know why her mother forbade her bread. It was even more puzzling that the baker knew so much about her. What secrets had the adults been harbouring?
