not getting a puppy,” said Dad. “They cost too much money.”

wanted a rabbit. “We are only getting one pet,” said Mom. “So

Bananas and Pineapples
Bananas
Banana is a yellow fruit that grows in hot climates. Sometimes
it is called the “perfect fruit” because you don’t have to wash it
and it is easy to carry. Bananas are good for muscles. For a
delicious treat, add some banana slices to other foods, like
cereal, ice cream, or a peanut butter sandwich. A banana is
also an excellent breakfast food.
Pineapples
Pineapples are another example of a yellow fruit that grows in
hot climates. Pineapples are very juicy and sweet. They taste
wonderful when added to other foods, like pizza, ice cream, or
cakes. Pineapples are not very easy to carry around because
they are large and have prickly skin. Since you don't eat the

eat it.
