Lesson26(2) Wanted: a large biscuit tin
They offered to pay $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener.
The response to this competition was tremendous.
Before long,
biscuits of all shapes and sizes began arriving at the factory.
One lady brought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow.
It weighed nearly 500 pounds.
A little later,
a man came along with a biscuit which occupied the whole boot of his car.
All the biscuits that were sent were carefully weighed.
The largest was 713 pounds.
It seemed certain that this would win the prize.
But just before the competition closed,
a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly colossal biscuit which weighed 2400 pounds.
It had been baked by a college student who had used over 1000 pounds of flour, 800 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of fat, and 400 pounds of various other ingredients.
It was so heavy that a crane had to be used to remove it from the lorry.
The manufacturers had to pay more money than they had anticipated,
for they bought the biscuit from the student for $24000.

感悟：週一 你們都去上學去了，媽媽有時間看一些書，學英語，寫寫感悟，鍛鍊身體，每天去散步已經非常習慣了，很喜歡。本來是計劃週一到週五的時間，上個週末兩天也是擠出時間去散步了，雖然有點匆忙，沒有欣賞沿途的風景，但是每天有一個小時的散步放鬆時刻是很珍貴的。中午看到老師發的你在教室裏的口算考試，真是欣慰啊，寶貝。媽媽相信你。
