Tilly groaned, twas very early, but the band was leaving for the competition at 8 o'clock. She dragged herself out of bed unwillingly and dressed. There was hardly time for breakfast but her dad insisted. She gobbled down some toast, hauled her backpack onto her shoulders and stood at the door like a soldier ready for combat, Itwas so very wet but the bus was coming and she had to run for it. She took off through the deluge, reaching the bus stop justin time. She struggled up the slippery metal steps, leaning forward to rescue her backpack from the doors as they closed, ‘Move down the back of the bus; called the driver, repeating the same plea he made at every stop. ‘The bus was very full, as it always was on wet days. Tilly shuffled down the aisle resting the base of her trumpet case on the floor and pushing italong, with her foot as she went. ‘The bus lurched from side to side, winding its way through the narrow suburban streets. Having claimed the last seat, Tilly soon drifted off to sleep. She didn't notice the trumpet case slipping under the seat in front of her. Tilly was woken by the sudden silence of an empty bus. She jumped up from her seat and stumbled down the aisle and out through the door. It was only as she ran through the dripping school gates that she realised her right hand was empty. No trumpet! She turned back in panic, looking out to the street just as the bus disappeared from sight.Chocolate trees Wouldn’c it be great if chocolate grew on trees? Well, in a way, itdoes! The main ingredient used to make chocolace ‘comes from the fruit of the cacao tree, ‘he fruit, known as cacao pods, grow straight from the tree's trunk. They are oval-shaped like footballs and contain about 30-40 seeds. These seeds are used to make chocolate, but iF you were to eat one straight from the pod, it would taste very bitter. ‘One cacao tree can produce 2000 pods a year, but collecting the pods sa difficult job. Cacao tres are delicate and cannot support a person's weight, so the pods are knocked to the ground using along stick witha blade attached to one end. ‘Once picked, the pod is split open. The seeds, which are ‘covered in a sticky, white pulp, are scooped out and left in piles for about seven days. This helps to improve their flavour. “They are then dried outin the sun for another five to seven days to become hard. Once they have reached this stage, the seeds are called cocoa beans, “The cocoa beans are taken to factories where they are processed. Extra ingredients like sugar and milk are added to turn the beans into chocolate, Cacao trees were originally found only in the warm, tropical rainforests of Central and South America, but as people developed the taste for chocolate, other countries began ‘growing and harvesting large crops of cacao trees. In fact, ‘most of the world’s cocoa beans are now produced in ‘West African countries. Depending on which area of the ‘world the cocoa beans are grown, the taste of chocolate is slightly different.Mammoth Fossil surprise senor 6 October, | has stumbled upon Fossil exPer in Moscow and Saint A oon he. bestpreserved woolly ecersbung wil study the mamout ovsmmoths ever found.
