NAME:

the second surprise

Grandpa Dino and Dino are in the garden, taking care of her for the winter.
“It's time to harvest the plants that give us food,” Grandpa says.
They pluck the tendrils from the pumpkins and remove Dino's tutor. This covers the corn stalk with leaves.
“Hey, Dino, check this out,” says Grandpa, with a smile on his face. “There's still some corn on the cob here.
– Wow! I love corn on the cob! – Dino exclaims.

– Guess what? – Grandpa smiles – this is not a common corn. Can you guess what it is?
- No. Corn is corn, isn't it? – Dino asks.
- Yes and no. It's popcorn! - Grandpa laughs.
– Popcorn? I mean, making popcorn? – Dino asks amazed – You mean you can grow popcorn?
- Yes sir. Let's harvest all these ears, and then I showed you how to do it - Grandpa says.
- So that's his second secret, what grandma almost told me! - Dino laughs while harvesting the corn.
Back in the kitchen, Grandpa shows Dino what to do.
– You need to thresh the cobs. Use your thumb to loosen the beans, and they will come out of the cobs,” he explains.
The beans soon fill a huge glass jar.
- Here it is! Your own popcorn stash to burst through the long winter nights! - Grandpa says, patting Dino on the back.
- I just hope you share a little with your old grandpa.
