A match made in heaven

This is a little tale I made up for my daughter D when I was trying to get her to eat (no small feat, let me tell you). As it happened she was eating thairu saadam (curd rice) and keerai kootu (spinach/dal mixture) a combination I was telling her was a match made in heaven and she wanted to know what that meant. And so the story goes thus:
Once upon a time, Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu were huddled in conference. Brahma said, “People are losing faith in us. They are tired of having to go the temple to think of us and they’re too lazy to pray at home. What do we do?”
Shiva said, “I have an idea. Let’s give them something they can see every day and because of how great it is they will say ‘it is something made in heaven’ and think of us.”
Vishnu nodded in agreement. “What will make them think of us?”
And so the three thought long and hard but couldn’t come up with anything. Then it was time for lunch. Saraswati, Parvati and Lakshmi called their husbands for lunch. “It’s going to be a light lunch,” said Parvati. “Someone forgot to get the vegetables from the garden,” she said, glaring at Shiva, who looked at his plate sheepishly.
“Oh, that’s all right. We have things to discuss…not think about food,” said Brahma importantly.
And so the wives served their husbands rice with keerai kootu made with the keerai Parvati had hastily plucked from her garden. The three gods ate their food without paying attention to it. Brahma and Shiva were careful to wipe their plate clean because if the gods wasted even one speck the whole world would go hungry. But Vishnu was careless and left a bit of the kootu behind while waiting for the next course. Without noticing this, the wives served the rice for the next round and poured a lot of fresh tasty curds (yogurt) over it. The gods absentmindedly mixed their rice and curd and began to eat. Suddenly Vishnu’s head shot up and in an amazed voice he said, “This is something heavenly!! Supercaliflagilisticexpialidocious fantastic!!”
“What are you talking about?” said Brahma and Shiva impatiently. “This is just thairu saadam.”
Vishnu looked at them doubtfully, and thought maybe he was wrong and went back to eating. He ate another mouthful and he said again, “This is something heavenly!! Supercaliflagilisticexpialidocious fantastic!!”
Now Brahma and Shiva got irritated and said, “Vishnu! Can you be serious?!! We’re eating the same thairu saadam and it doesn’t taste that different from every day. So stop getting distracted.”
Then Vishnu looked at his plate and saw that his thairu saadam looked green. Brahma and Shiva also noticed that. But theirs was white as usual. “Vishnu, why does yours look green?” said Shiva. Vishnu said, “Here taste some of mine! I promise you it is Supercaliflagilisticexpialidocious fantastic!!”
Hesitantly brahma and Shiva took small mouthfuls from Vishnu’s plate. Their eyes lit up and they said “”This is something heavenly!! Supercaliflagilisticexpialidocious fantastic!!”
Hearing all the noise the gods were making, their wives came running in. “What’s the matter?” asked Saraswati.
So Shiva explained how Vishnu’s thairu saadam alone tasted so good. Lakshmi took one look at Vishnu’s plate and said,”You really are too much! I am sure you didn’t wipe your plate clean after the keerai kootu! So wat you are eating is a mixture of the keerai with the thairu saadam. That’s all. And now I have to make sure the poor people in the world aren’t hungry because of your carelessness.”
The three gods turned to each other and said together, “We have found what we were looking for. Thairu and keerai are a match made in heaven. Whenever people eat them together they will say ‘Ah! a match made in heaven’ and they will think of us. Our search has ended.”
And so from that day forth, when people eat thairu and keerai together they say it is a match made in heaven and think of how great the gods were to discover two things that tasted so good together!!!
