Ellen Parker was worried about her health. She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her
to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath."I suppose I had better go to the doctor." she thought. She went
to the doctor and told him her problem. "I'm not at all surprised." he said, "I know what your problem is."
He examined her and then gave her some advice. "If you don't do what I say, Mrs. Parker," he said, "You
will have a heart attack. It could kill you."
Ellen was very worried as she left the doctor's. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would
not be easy and it would take time.
The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher shop.
"I'd like ten pounds of steak, please." she said.
"Certainly, madam." the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He
brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale.
"That's just ten pounds." he said.
"That's big enough." Mrs. Parker said.
The butcher worked out the price. "At $4.99 a pound that will be $49.90, please. Would you like me to
cut it up into smaller pieces for you?"
"Oh, I don't want to buy the meat." Mrs. Parker said.
"If you don't want to buy it," the butcher replied angrily, "Why did you ask me to get it for you?"
"My doctor told me that I am too heavy and have to lose ten pounds. I wanted to see what ten pounds of
meat looked like."

| World' s Amazing Festivals El Colacho: The Baby-Jumping Festival In this festival, grown men jump over newborns, with their parents' permission. Wearing scary costumes, the Spanish men attempt to "clean" babies of evil. The town has observed the strange practice since 1620, and any onlookers (旁观者) who seem to be in need of a quick exorcism(~) are pulled into the event, as well. Hadakamatsuri : The Naked (裸露的) Festival This is a Japanese festival where participants wear little clothing. Naked Festivals are held in dozens of places throughout Japan every year, usually in summer or winter. Hidden somewhere in these men is one fully naked man. Touching him is believed to bring good luck. The Monkey Buffet (自助餐) Festival Every year, about 600 monkeys are invited to eat fruits and vegetables during an annual feast in Thailand. It is held in honour Rama, the greatest of the gods. It is said that Rama once rewarded his friend Hanuman, the Monkey King, with some land. Organizers of the annual Monkey Bullet use more than 3,000kg of fruits and vegetables to prepare for the festival. The Cheese Rolling Festival This event is held in England. Though it might sound very gentle, cheese-rolling is actually very dangerous. Running down a very steep hill behind a 7-pound wheel of cheese can be very dangerous. In fact, the police have attempted to ban the event, but participants have refused to carry out the ban. Men and their cheese wheels cannot be separated so easily. So what happens during a cheese roll? Simple: The cheese is set rolling down the hill, and the racers run down the hill after the cheese. However, as the cheese can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, it rarely happens that someone catches the cheese. The first to reach the bottom wins the cheese.
