Who Invented Pretzels?


Pretzels are very popular baked treats that is in a twisted cool shape! All a pretzel is made of is water, brown sugar, wheat flower, yeast, and sprinkled with salt and bake to a golden brown.




But who invented the pretzel? I will answer that question!




Pretzels were invented by monks! In the 17th century french, monks in Paris made these fun treats. The story is, the monks took bread dough and shaped the dough into twirly loops. The shape of the pretzel was supposed to represent a child's arms folded in prayer.


The monks gave the baked goods to children as rewards for being faithful. Pretzels were called pretiola, a Latin word meaning little reward.

What are Pianos inside?



Do you ever wonder how a piano makes its sound? Well I am going to tell you

In a piano, a harp is on the inside. A little hammer hits the harp's string when you play a key. Also, do you know the big baby grand pianos? The harp inside is laying down! The upright piano, the harp inside is standing strait up!

Question of the day


Can Turtles FLY?

So some people say no, they can’t fly! I am going to give you my take on the facts about turtles. Some like water, and some don’t. They have a shell, no antennas, and no tentacles! They are reptiles. But the question still remains, can turtles fly?

Guess what? Yes they can! When they swim it is called flying. If you thought I meant flying through the air, then no because they don't have wings!
