Short story No. 3

The Hole in the Wall

Short story is te vinden in de PDF.

If your family had a business, what would you want them to trade in?

Het meisje in het verhaal vertelt ook dat haar familie een bedrijf heeft.

Name any kind of fruit.
We'll sort them from least expensive to most expensive.

Het familiebedrijf in het verhaal verkoopt steenvruchten (het lijkt of dit niet-bestaand fruit is).

The most expensive fruit in the world is...

Yubari King Melon

Trivia voor de bonuspunt op de toets!!

Yubari King Melon

The price depends on which grade of melon you buy. 

The best quality Yubari Melons have a sugar content of 13% or higher, are exceptionally sweet, and are very rare to find. These top-tier melons can command the highest prices of up to $300 per melon.

According to Kyodo News, a record was set in 2019 when a pair of Yubari King Melons were sold for $45,000 at auction!
