An American named Crum invented potato chips in 1853, although that was not his intention (意图). He was a cook at a beautiful restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. A regular dish on the menu was fried (油炸的) potatoes, which was an ides that had started in France. At that time, French fried potatoes were cut into thick slices (片).

One day, a dinner guest at the restaurant sent back his fried potatoes to the chef because he did not like them so thick. So Mr. Crum cut the potatoes a little thinner and fried them. The guest did not like those either. That made Mr. Crum angry, so he thought he would just show the man. He sliced the potatoes paper-thin and fried them, thinking that the man would say nothing about it. However, to his surprise, the man loved the thin potatoes very much. Other guests tried them and liked them. So, Mr. Crum's potato chips were added to the menu. They were called Saratoga Chips.

Finally, Mr. Crum opened his own restaurant to sell his famous chips. Now potato chips are packaged (包装) and sold in stores.

Of all the students of Grade Four, Bill is the tallest. He’s thirteen, and of course, he’s the oldest, too. But he’s the worst student. He can’t answer the easiest questions in class. And he never passes the exam.

But the boy is the strongest in his school. Even the boys in higher grades are afraid of him. So every day he leaves home with an empty bag. When he gets to school, his bag will be full of fruit and cakes. Sometimes he brings some home. His mother, Mrs. King , is always happy when she sees them. She praises(赞扬) her son, for she can save some money.

This morning, Mrs. King went shopping in the market. She saw an old man selling eggs there. She chose twenty-four but paid only for twenty. The old man was too busy to count them. She went home quickly and told her husband as soon as he came back for lunch.

“How clever you are!” Mr. King said happily. And Bill was busy eating the eggs, so he didn’ t say a word.

“What’s your favorite food, dear?” asked Mr. King.

“Eggs, of course.”

“Well, then, ” said the man, “can you tell us what can lay eggs”.

The boy thought for a while and said, “Hens, ducks, geese…and…Mum!”

“Oh? But why?”

“I often hear my classmate call me ‘Bad Egg’. ”
