There was once a boy called Jason, who liked sweets and chocolate very much. Every day his mother gave him and his two brothers one sweet from a jar, which was kept on a high shelf in the kitchen. However, Jason always complained that one sweet was not enough

‘Mum! Can I have another sweet? One is not enough,’ he moaned

His mother always replied, ‘No, I’m sorry. You may have one sweet every day. You can have another one tomorrow’. She would then put the jar back on the shelf. One day, Jason’s mother was out shopping and his father was working in his office, upstairs. Jason decided that this was the moment to take some more sweets from the jar. He was alone in the kitchen and his brothers were tidying their rooms upstairs. They were very helpful and hardworking, but Jason was a lazy boy

He managed to climb onto a wooden chair and, with great difficulty, took the jar down from the shelf and opened the lid. With a big smile on his face, he took a large handful of sweets. But when he tried to take his hand from the jar, it wouldn’t move and the more he tried, the more difficult it became

His hand started to hurt and he began to cry. At that moment, his mother returned from shopping. She smiled when she saw her son crying with his hand in the sweet jar. She knew why he was crying

The mother said, ‘Oh, son! This behaviour will lead you into such trouble! Let go of the sweets and you will be able to take your hand out of the jar.’ Jason let go of the sweets and he was then able to take his hand from the glass jar very easily

That was the last time he ever asked for more than one sweet

From bean to bar

Growing Chocolate is made from beans which grow in pods on a cocoa tree. These beans are grown where it is warm all year round. Farming The beans are usually farmed two times a year. The workers use a long stick with a large knife to cut the pods down. They open the pods with their hands, so that the beans inside don’t break. Fermentation Next is the fermentation stage. The beans are put into wooden boxes and are covered with banana leaves for a week. Then they are dried in the sun for another week. After that, they go to the factory. Manufacturing In the factory, the beans are cooked in big ovens. Then the shells are cracked and the inside part is made into a mixture The mixture is made sweet with sugar, butter and milk

Product When the mixture is cold, we have the final product – chocolat

 

Osama hurried across the sunbaked ground. Karim waited until Osama had nearly reached the palm tree, then he flew noisily through the air, coming down well ahead of Osama. ‘Ha, ha, what a fool you are, Osama!’ he cried. ‘The other animals will never respect a bird who cannot fly.’ Osama was angry. He ran at Karim, knocking him with his powerful legs, but Karim just flew away laughing. Osama sadly walked home to tell his wife how he had been tricked

 Why do you think the cockerel wanted to hurt the ostrich

 Why is walking better than flying according to Karim

 Do you think walking is better than flying? Why ? / Why not

 How would you feel if you were Osama

 

It’s common and boring. It’s only strong birds like you and me who can get about by walking. It’s a sign that you are a special bird.’ Osama thought about it and replied, ‘Hmm, perhaps you are right. I will have to talk about it with my wife this evening.’ And off Osama went, marching across the desert to test Karim’s words. His long legs carried him swiftly home to his wife

The next day, the two birds met again. ‘I have thought about it and decided that you were right, Osama said. ‘My wife and I took off our wings last night. We were sad to lose them, but my leg muscles are growing stronger already. I’ll race you to that palm tree!’ Karim laughed and laughed. ‘I can’t believe that it was so easy to trick you with that tale, Osama. Your brains must be as small as a baby bird’s. But if you want to, I’ll race you
