Only one of these stories is true. Which is it? Puta [ff in the box next to the true story. English people love picnics. They like eating in the countryside, in parks and even on the beach. The only problem about eating on the beach is that the sand often gets into the food. One day someone had the very good idea of putting the meat or cheese between two slices of bread. This stopped the sand from getting on to the food. It is because of this that today See call sandwiches ‘sandwiches’. Ag The town of Sandwich is situated between Dover and Canterbury in south-east England. Sandwich is a very small town when you compare it with either Dover or Canterbury but the people who live there have always con- sidered that it is a more important and better town to live in than either of the other two larger towns. One day a Sandwich man was sitting having lunch with a man from Dover and a man from Canterbury. The Sandwich man put a thick slice of bread on the table and said, ‘This piece of bread is Canterbury’. Then he put another thick slice of bread on top of the first slice and said, ‘And this is Dover’. Then he picked up a piece of cheese, put it between the two slices of bread and said, ‘But this tasty piece of cheese is Sandwich’. It is because of this man that today we call sandwiches ‘sand- wiches’. An elahteg th century English aristocrat, the Earl of Sandwich, loved playing cards. He used to play cards all day and night aoa hated TER having to stop a game for his meals. One day SS he thought of a way of putting meat between Gs two slices of bread.
