Chocolate-making Process

After the cacao is harvested and transported to the factory, it is cleaned
and separated according to the type of cacao. The cocoa beans are baked
in a round oven at a temperature of 270 – 290 °F. The outer shells of the
beans are removed. They keep the crushed and broken pieces of cocoa
beans. These are called nibs. The nibs contain about 53% cocoa butter.

After that, the workers start to grind the nibs to produce cocoa paste. They
add other ingredients to the paste, stir and smooth the mixture under the
heat. The heated mixture is what we call ‘chocolate’. Lastly, they are
wrapped with multilayer packaging and labels are put on the bars of
chocolate. Finally, the chocolates are packed into boxes and transported
all over the world. They are then sent to shops that sell confectionery.

The King and the Spider

There was once a king named King Asa who lost a battle against an enemy country. He was afraid
of being killed, so he hid in the jungle. He was depressed and ashamed because he could not
defend his own country. He tried to think of ways to win back his country but all his attempts
were in vain. As days passed, he was forced to give up his idea of getting back his country.
CONTOH
One day, when King Asa was about to go to sleep, he saw a spider trying to spin a web. He was
curious and began to observe carefully. Every time the spider began to spin its web, a gust of wind
broke it and the spider had to start all over again. Kings Asa watched the spider for almost two
hours until it finally completed the web.

If a small spider can face failure so
bravely, why should I give up? I will try
with all my might till I win.

This thought gave strength to the defeated king. King Asa was so inspired by the spider that he
got out of the jungle and collected his brave soldiers. He led his soldiers into a battle against the
enemies. He fought against the large army. He was defeated again. But now, he would not give up
his fight easily. King Asa continued to fight against the large army again and again. Finally, after
many attempts, he defeated the large army and regained his kingdom. He had learnt a valuable
lesson from the spider.

Eating healthily does not mean eating fruits or vegetables. It’s about eating the right
food portion for each category. Eating junk food occasionally will not hurt you. Just
don’t eat them daily, you’ll be fine.

have healthy body. If you eat carrots, they’ll help to improve your vision. If you drink
milk, you’ll have stronger bones and teeth.
