Did you know that popcorn is a treat the Indians of America gave to us? Some say that on the first Thanksgiving Day the Indians showed the others how to cook the corn. The corn used to make popcorn has a hard shell. The white part we like to eat is inside. Also inside the hard shell is a little water. The popcorn is heated up. The heat changes the water to steam. The steam pushes so hard that the shell blows up. It pops! All at once the white part pops out. It gets much bigger. It almost covers the old shell. The old shell seems to peek out of a white cloud. When you eat popcorn, think of how it pops. Also, remember the Indians. They gave us this treat to heat and eat.
