One day,the rice family and the bun family were fighting fiercely.finally the rice family had beaten the bun family.all the buns were running away.the members of rice family were running after them.some porridge were running after a zongzi.when the zongzi came to a corner,he suddenly took off his clothes and shouted to the porridge,"I'm the spy!!!"

I can't make the picture show either. I think using [img] is the right way. I just made it into a link so people can click on the URL to see the picture.

In English, I don't think we would think of zongzi as a bun, because for us, buns are made of some kind of bread, while zongzi is sticky rice covered with leaves. Is the word for bun different in Chinese?

Yes,I quite understand your words!
I am a Chinese!
I know what a zongzi looks like.There is rice and some other food in it!
I like to eat zongzi..It is so delicious!
First,our Chinese were eating zongzi for commemorating a person named QU YUAN on May 5th!

Love it,

Sticky rice, pork, mushrooms and peanuts (sometimes egg) wrapped in babboo leaf in triangular shape to celebrate Dragon Boat festival.
