WHEN A PIG FLYES

Dano and Dana were the most ugliest pigs in the farm. Dano was blue with pink tail and Dana was pink with 2 big blue spots; one on her head and the other one on her butt, and she was so.... so... so... SO... FAT.

When Dano and Dana were born, their mother Ink was so happy because one day she heard Mr Joe (the farmer) talking with his wife Ms Jenn. He told her, Ink wasn´t able to be a mother. When Ink heard that she started to cry.

One day Ink started to feel nausea and she was so tired, the farmer noticed it and called the veterinarian. Dr Charles went to the farm an examinated Ink, when he finished, he called the farmer and his wife and he explained everything to them. Ink was trying to hear but she coudn´t, after 5 minutes Mr Joe and Ms Jenn came back and hug Ink, they were so happy because Ink was pregnant.

Dano and Dana were healthy but really strange, just Ink loved them. When they were 3 years old mr Joe decided to sell them to a clown. Ink was devastated, they had been toguether for a long long time and they were a real family.

Dano and Dana were bought by mr Joke the clown of the Sad Circus, he told mr Joe he would take care of the siblings because he loved pigs. But when they arrived at the circus he shut them on a cage.

Mr Joke forced them to do stupid acts like jumping over a pie, and blow up a ballon with the nose to make it explode. Dano and Dana were so sad, they hated the circus and mr Joe because he usually forgot to feed them.

They had been workin at the circus for 10 months when they heard mr Joke coming, he was so drunk, he came to the cage and told to the siblings he would free them when they could fly. When Dana heard that she started to cry but Dano was so happy, this is the opportunity they had been waiting for, since they were bought by mr Joke. Dana didn´t understand why Dano was so happy.

At night Dano started to pray and Dana got more and more conffused, and decided to ask him what whas he doing, he explains her he was prating because he wants them to have wings. in that momentshe understood everything and they started to pray together.

They woke up with a lot of pain in their backs, they open their eyes and were so confusedbut at the same time so happy. Dano says he coudn´t believe it and Dana says she was so happy. They received what they wanted to. In their backs they had wings and the most incredible thing was that they could hide them and bring them out when they wanted.

In the evening when Mr Joke went to feed them he opened the cage. Dana and Dano put a stone under the door and scaped flying. They ewnt to the old farm, took their mom out and scaped to have again a beautiful family.

THE CHOCOLATE

The cacao tree is grown in equatorial regions, especially in places such a South America, Africa and Indonesia. The tree produces a fruit as big as a small pineapple. The cocoa beens are found inside it.

The beens are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate maker.

Chocolate makes starts bye roasting the beens to bring out the flavor. The roasted beens are winnowed (Winnowing removes the meat (also known as the nib) of the cocoa beens from its shell) to have nibs.

Once roasted, winnowed and blended, the nibs are grounded and produces a viscous liquid known as "chocolate liquor". Chocolate liquor is pure, unsweetened chocolate, and if you eat it, it will be pretty nasty because it is bitter.

You can do 2 things with the liquor:

The liquor can be put into a mold and let it get cool and solidify, this is the unsweetened chocolate. Or you can press it in a hydraulic press to squeeze out the fat, and when you do this what your are left with is a dry cake of the ground cocoa been solids and "cocoa butter". If you grind up the cake, you´ll have "cocoa powder".

So far, we´ve taken de seeds of a tree, roasted them and ground them up, now the process of making the chocolate we eat can be being.

There are 3 basic things to make a chocolate bar.

1 Adding ingredients
The chocolate we eat contains: sugar, other flavors(vainilla etc.), and often milk. The chocolate maker adds these ingredients according to them own recipe.

2 Conching
The chocolate is massaged by a special machine in order to blend the ingredients together and smooth it out.

3 Tempering
It is a carefully controlled healting process. Tempering is "a process where the chocolate is slowly heated, then slowly cooled, allowing the cocoa butter molecules to solidify in an orderly fashion" whitout this process the chocolate doesn´t harderen properly.

And after all this process we have the most delicious thing in hole world THE CHOCOLATE.
