A giant was roaming around the forest. It saw a hungry traveller shivering in the cold. The giant got sympathy and called him to his cave.

On the way the giant saw the traveller blowing air through his mouth at his fingers. When the giant asked for the reason, he replied that he was heating his hand by the air from his mouth.

After reaching the cave, the giant served him a cup of hot soup. On receiving it, the traveller again started blowing air by his mouth at the cup. The giant was surprised and asked why he was again doing the same thing and whether the heat was not sufficient for him. But the traveller replied that he was cooling the soup then.

Now the giant got suspicion and said, “You are blowing both heat and cool from your one and the same mouth. So I can’t believe such a cheat. Run away from here or else bad things will happen to you.” The giant Chased him off.

When did the story take place?

• After the rain

• In the evening

• In the morning

• During a winter season

It seems to me that families used to eat more meals together. Nowadays, there’s often a TV nearby, or someone’s talking on a mobile phone or texting during dinner.

When I was a kid, my family always used to eat dinner together, no matter what. We’d wait for everyone to get home, and then we’d all sit down together. My parents never let us take food into another room to watch TV, and if the phone rang, my mom would have us tell the caller to call back later. During dinnertime conversation, everyone had a chance to talk. Back then, I was a bit quieter than my siblings, so my dad would often ask me to talk about my day. That was how we learned to share and take turns, so everyone got to join in.

Speaking of taking turns, all of us kids used to take part in either preparing the meal or cleaning up. Sometimes my mom would let me help her in the kitchen-I’d wash and chop vegetables or things like that. We’d always have fresh food or at least leftovers from the night before…no fast food or take out.
