Hearing him, Lin Hao dropped the milk bowl and scooped him up from the tiny bed, putting him on his own knees. Then, he propped the baby's back with a hand and started feeding the baby with a little spoon.
In the meantime, he said to the baby, "Can you tell the differences between different types of food by smelling them? Can you tell what's edible for you and what's not? Or, can you tell what's edible for everyone?"

Viney said, "I can only tell what's edible for me. I think I can drink this bowl of milk." He couldn't tell what was in that milk, but the aroma told him that it was safe for him.
