Ammy is a college student. She wrote in her diary:
For breakfast, I usually have cereal and milk and a piece of fruit – an apple or a banana. If I wake up really hungry then
I’ll also have a piece of bread with jam on it. Sometimes I’ll have eggs, an omelet with cheese and maybe ham. And if
I’m late for class, I’ll just have a cup of coffee.
I don’t have a lot of time in between classes this semester, so for lunch I will typically grab something quick to eat, like a slice of pizza. Or a sandwich, either turkey or bacon with lettuce and tomatoes. Despite the junk food at lunch time, I try to keep healthy by having another piece of fruit or a granola bar for a snack in the middle of the afternoon.
Now, answer: In the text read Ann talks about:
The Irish hollowed out turnips and placed a light inside to keep away the bad Jack. As the legend says, Jack was a man who tricked the devil and after Jack had died he was allowed neither in heaven nor in hell. With a lantern in his hand he began to search for a resting place on Earth. This was the original Jack-o-Lantern. Since celebration came to America from Ireland (Scotland and Wales) people used pumpkins because they were bigger and easier to hollow out than turnips.
This text makes reference to a custom of one of the best-known festivals in the United States:
Text from question:
Fox and the grapes
It was a very hot and sunny afternoon. A fox, which had been hunting the whole day, was very thirsty. 'How I wish there
was some water, the fox thought to himself.
Just then, he saw bunches of fat and juicy grapes hanging from a vine above his head. The grapes looked ripe and ready to
burst with juice.
'Oh, my! Oh, my!' the fox said as his mouth began to water. 'Sweet grape juice, quench my thirst!'
The fox stood on tiptoe and stretched as high as he could, but the grapes were out of his reach. Not about to give up, the
fox walked back a short distance and took a running leap at the grapes. Again, he could not reach the grapes.
The fox jumped and leapt, again and again, but each time he could not reach the grapes. Until, at last, the fox was tired
and thirstier than ever. 'What a fool I am!' said the fox furiously. 'These grapes are sour and not fit for eating. Why would
I want them anyway?'
