Last summer, Julia invited some of her friends for dinner at her home. In the morning, she bought some fish and meat and left them on the table for the whole day. In the evening, she cooked them for dinner. After a while, Julia and some of her friends started feeling sick. What do you think might have happened?

• Perhaps there was some kind of virus, which spread very quickly amongst them.

• Perhaps Julia was not a great cook.

• There might have been some toxic gases in the air.

• The fish and meat were not kept in the refrigerator, and so bacteria multiplied quickly in the food.

George was playing outside with his two cousins. They came inside and asked if they can prepare a fruit salad themselves. Dad said that they must first wash their hands well with soap. George complained. He said that his hands were clean and that there was no need. Dad kept insisting. Why did dad keep insisting?

• Because he was frustrated that George did not obey at once.

• Dad wanted their hands to smell nice before handling food.

• Dad knew that there are normally a lot of germs on the hands, and before we handle food, we have to wash our hands with soap to kill these germs.

• Dad wanted to add to their fun by making bubbles.
