Anita Sabatini had$een the most forgetful fifteen year old any of her friends had ever
met. She was forgetting her books, her sports things and even what day of the week
it was.
One day when she got to school her classmates talked nervously outside the classroom.
They told her there had been a French test that morning. At first Anita wasn't worried
because she was forgetting that she was doing French that year. Then the teacher told her
that she had to do the test.
She couldn't answer any of the questions because she hadn't known any French. After
a while she was falling asleep. She was sleeping peacefully when she had heard someone
calling her name. She woke up and her mother stood next to the bed. lt had all been a
dream.

Originally popcorn was popped by throwing it on very
hot stones placed on top of a fire. Naturally, as it
popped it flew off in all directions. The game was to
catch the popcorn and eat it. Clay pots used for
popping corn have been found throughout southern
and northern America.

When the first British colonists arrived in Massachusetts, the native Americans brought
popcorn as a gift. The colonists liked it so much that they ate it with sugar and milk in the
morning.
..........
After the invention of the first corn poppers in 1885, it became even more popular.
Popcorn carts were seen everywhere in the United States. They could easily be pushed
5..........
During the Great Depression of the i930s, popcorn was one of the few luxuries families
could afford. lts popularity grew during World War ll when sugar was sent overseas to
soldiers and there weren't many sweet things to eat in the United States. As a result,
Americans ate three times more popcorn than usual.
6..........
After the invention of television in the 1940s, people didn't go out to see movies so often
and less popcorn was sold. Now that it can be popped in the bag in a microwave oven,
sales have risen again because more and more people are eating it while they watch TV.
Today the American public eats nearly one billion kilos of popcorn per year.
