As Rebecca helps with roofing and weaving walls, she connects the process to her own responsibility: her baby is “built” from what she eats. Through conversations with her sister Susana and their family food rules, Rebecca reframes food restrictions as essential “building materials,” guiding her toward nourishing choices for a healthy, strong baby.","Building  \nWritten and illustrated by Robyn Nottingham  \nA story about the importance of good nutrition when pregnant  \nEnglish  \n1  \n\"Oh! It will be wonderful!”exclaimed Rebecca. She and her husband, Ronny, were sitting under the shady trees on the river bank. They had been married for a year, and were still living in Ronny’s parents’ house. But now that Rebecca was pregnant, they wanted to have their own house. Ronny had decided where to build, and where to put the windows and the doors, and it all looked very good to Rebecca! She was proud  \n2  \nFirst, Ronny had to clear the area of bushes and long grass, watching carefully for snakes that might live there. Then he measured it, and dug lots of holes in straight lines for the support stumps. Next, he cut timber in the forest. He needed some thick wood for stumps, 24 of them, each cut 2 metres long. Then he needed longer timber for the floor supports, planks for the floor, and more poles for the wall supports and roof beams. It took time because he was looking for the straightest trees, cutting them and  \nRonny also needed to dig two deep holes near the house. He didn’t want to contaminate the river or make their yard dirty, so he dug one hole for garbage, and one hole where he would build a toilet. Meanwhile, Rebecca was also busy. She was collecting everything they would need to make the roof and the matted walls. After collecting it all and cleaning  \n3 it, she started weaving it  \n4  \nOne afternoon, Ronny was gone for along time. Rebecca wondered what he was doing. But when he finally returned, she could see that he had gone to buy nails, and to find the material to make ropes. He would need nails and ropes for every place that a pole or board met another one. They would be tied together firmly so that the house would be strong in a storm.  \nHe was careful to use good materials to build their house. If he used bent timber, or rotten beams, or anything eaten by termites, the house would be  \n5  \nRebecca was thinking about the importance of careful building skills and good building materials when she suddenly realised something! She realised that she herself was building something, too!  \n“Hey, Susana!” she called to her older sister, who was weaving abilum nearby. “Ronnie is building usa nice house, but I just realised that I am also building something very special…our baby!”  \n“Ha, ha! Yes, indeed!” laughed Susana.“Growing a baby from a tiny egg to a 3 kilogram baby who yells for her milk! Yes, you are busy there, sister!”  \n“Well,” continued Rebecca. “I am thinking that it is more like I am BUILDING a baby, all the time getting more complete and getting bigger. And I want him or her to be healthy and strong, so I should be using the best building materials I can find, shouldn’t I?”  \n7  \nSusana and the other women looked at her curiously. They were thinking about the idea that to have a strong, healthy baby, the mother needed to use “the best building materials”. They were confused.“The best building materials?”asked Susana. “What do you mean?”  \nRebecca laughed. “No, I don’t mean poles and  \n8  \nRebecca continued,“So where am I going to get the building materials that he needs to grow well? I think I can only do that by eating the things he needs.”  \nHer sister frowned. “But Rebecca, you know that there are rules about what you can eat while you are pregnant. Our mother, and Ronny’smother, will not allow you to eat some things. And you are the youngest in the house, so sometimes there is nothing left at meals for you, the last one, except  \n9  \n“Oh, I know!” answered Rebecca.“Ronny’s mother has many rules – Don’t eat this! You can’t eat that! This is not allowed! That is taboo!“And it is so hard to wait until everyone else has eaten before I can have the left-overs. I always feel hungry! But I realise now that my baby needs good building materials to grow big and healthy and handsome. So how can I give him what he needs?”","cbCairors1txWRRD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairors1txWRRD","pdf",8921214,3,54,"English","en",105,"# The Dream of Their Own House\n## Clearing, Measuring, and Building Materials\n## Rebecca’s Work and the Meaning of “Materials”\n## Food Rules and Building a Healthy Baby","[{\"question\":\"Why does Ronny clear and prepare the building area before constructing the house?\",\"answer\":\"He needs a safe, suitable site by removing bushes and long grass and carefully watching for snakes, so the supports can be placed properly.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Rebecca realize when she thinks about building the house?\",\"answer\":\"She realizes she is also “building” something—her baby—and that her baby’s growth depends on the quality of what she provides.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Rebecca connect pregnancy food rules with helping the baby grow?\",\"answer\":\"She explains that she must obtain the baby’s needed “building materials” by eating the right foods during pregnancy, even when family rules restrict what she can eat and leave her with fewer portions.\"}]",1784276698,83,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"building","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,49],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/building/88710/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-26","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Why does Ronny clear and prepare the building area before constructing the house?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"He needs a safe, suitable site by removing bushes and long grass and carefully watching for snakes, so the supports can be placed properly.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What does Rebecca realize when she thinks about building the house?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"She realizes she is also “building” something—her baby—and that her baby’s growth depends on the quality of what she provides.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"How does Rebecca connect pregnancy food rules with helping the baby grow?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"She explains that she must obtain the baby’s needed “building materials” by eating the right foods during pregnancy, even when family rules restrict what she can eat and leave her with fewer portions.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
