4. A clever butcher
A Norfolk butcher was famous for his rabbit pies, which he used to bake himself. As time went by, however, customers started to complain that his pies weren’t quite as nice as they used to be. One day a friend said:
– Frank, what happened to your rabbit pies?
– Why?
– They don’t taste as good as they used to.
– Well between you and me, – said the butcher, – my pies have been in such great demand that there aren’t enough rabbits to go round.
– So what do you do?
– I mix in a bit of horse meat.
– Horse meat! – exclaimed the friend. – How much horse meat do you put in?
– About fifty-fifty, – replied the butcher.
– What do you mean fifty-fifty?
– One horse to one rabbit.

2. The correct answer is a. All salad leaves and vegetables themselves are low in fat but some salad dressings can be high in calories.
3. The correct answer is a. Do you remember the Russian proverb ‘Eat breakfast alone…’? Eating breakfast is the perfect way to start your day. Without breakfast you’ll feel tired and sleepy.
4. The correct answer is b. But it doesn’t have to be just water. Fruit juice, milk and tea count, too. So do fizzy drinks – but make sure you don’t drink these too often.
5. The correct answer is c. Healthy snacks such as fresh fruit or vegetables are good for you. Besides, such snacks can also help to prevent you from overeating at your next meal.
