How much do you know about Thanksgiving?

READING COMPREHENSION

Read the text and answer the following questions:

(gather: form a group, first aider: emergency medical assistance, chill: freezing, cold, giblets: viscera of a bird, melt: become liquid)
It was the Monday before Thanksgiving, Bobby Evans collapsed in a supermarket in Worcester, Massachusetts. Other customers gathered around and the first-aider was called. It did not look good for Bobby, there was blood coming out of his ear, his face looked white and he was unconscious.
The shop manager dialled 911 and when the medical team arrived the first thing they did was take off Bobby's hat, to everyone's amazement inside was a partially frozen turkey. What knocked Bobby down was the chill from turkey paralyzing his brain. The blood came from the giblets which had melted and fell over his hair and down into his ear.
As it was Thanksgiving the sympathetic manager took pity, and rather than prosecuting the shop-lifter, gave him the partly unfrozen bird and sent Bobby on his way. Two days later the manager got a letter from Bobby apologising for his behaviour and thanking the manager for his action. Also inside the envelope was $15, the price of his turkey.

1. What was Bobby Evans doing in a supermarket?
   

2. Why did Bobby have his face pale?
   

3. Why was there blood coming out from Bobby's ear?

Someone took it in a trice

The Orangey Story

One day Mr Orange, Mr Banana, Mrs Plum and Mrs Apple were cleaning the farm and feeding the animals.

It wasn’t an easy job. The chooks kept running around and squawking and the pigs put mud on Mrs Plum every time.

"Oh no, my beautiful dress. It’s covered with mud" Mrs Plum would always complain.

"Stop complaining. This is the farm’s way of life. Quit waiting and finish the work Mrs Plum", Mr Orange explained, "If you want to help, STOP COMPLAINING OKAY".

"Okay, okay" Mrs Plum would say.

One day the farm animals were making such a noise no one worked that day.

‘What a racquet!" Mrs Apple said.

Suddenly Mr Orange brought up a brilliant idea. "We could have a farm choir. I could teach the animals to sing!".

Mr Banana brought up a point. "But birds and animals don’t sing."

"So what. It will be so so cool" Mr Orange answered.

It took weeks and weeks to perform the Alleluia song, but finally it was perfect. That night Mrs Plum, Mrs Apple and Mr Banana came to the show. They all brought ear muffs just incase the noise became terrible. Suddenly the show started, so they all put on their ear muffs. But when they started singing, it was a miracle - they sang beautifully. Soon it was the end of the show. All of the fruits were clapping and screaming "hooray, hooray".

This year was very busy for Mr Orange who arranged the show.
