This gives them their
12、taste. But carrots loose their sweetness if you wait too long to remove them from the ground. The best way to judge if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its color.

18、disappeared. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how Id liked my first day, I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everything.

37、work led one critic to say, “I am persuaded to call Layton a genius.”We cant afford to waste tears on “might-have-been”.
