Below the text, there is a colorful illustration of three people sitting on a blue and orange patterned rug. A man in an orange robe and red hat sits cross-legged on the left. In the middle, a man with a beard wears a green robe and white head covering. He is leaning forward, reaching for something on a red tray with two white bowls and a green bowl. On the right, a woman in an orange top and yellow skirt sits with her hands near her knees. The room's background features a pink archway, a white wall, and two dark windows. A blue and gold patterned band separates the text from the illustration. The floor is made of red bricks.
