Have you ever blown dandelion seeds to make a wish? Me too. Have you ever eaten a dandelion (蒲公英)? Me neither.
"Time to go, Athena," Mama said from the sidewalk. She 1 open the car door waiting for me. I stepped in the car with my hook. "She knew I didn't eat dandelions. Why did I have to pick them with my family every spring?" I thought.
My father and grandmother smiled from the front seats of the car. I turned and2 to Brigid, the girl who had just moved in. She stood across the street and watched. I was glad she didn't ask where we were going.
We rode into the 3 , not too far from our house just outside Chicago. I set down my book feeling the warm breeze. I told the wind, "I hope we are not there yet."
I had never seen anyone in the field with us, but I was always 4 that someone would notice us picking dandelions. People in America pulled dandelions from their yards. What would the new neighbors think if they found out our family ate weeds (杂草)?
We drove west until the houses stopped. Then we stopped. We walked through a large field. Hundreds of yellow flowers 5 over the soft earth. I looked for a place to hide.
"What's the matter with you, Athena?" Granny asked. "Nothing," I said. "But why do we eat dandelions? No one else does." "The best 6in the world." Granny answered.
It seemed to take hours to fill the bags. By the time we were ready to leave, we had enough dandelions. On the way home, Mama and Granny talked about hosting a dinner party for the new neighbors.
The night of the party, Brigid arrived with her parents. Mama served octopus with onions, peppers stuffed with lamb and rice, and horta made of dandelions. Our guests ate everything. Brigid tastedthe octopus and the lamb. Then she put her fork on the horta. "Wait!" I said. Too late. "You ate the dandelions!" I told her 7"Not bad," she said and ate another bite. We both laughed.
After dinner, Brigid and I went to the backyard. The stars reminded me of dandelions in the softfield. I closed my eyes and made a 8 to be as open-minded as my family and my new friends.

From the Other Side
Lara and Tara are twins. They look like each other, but they are very different in everything else. For example, hot food is Lara's favorite, and Tara has a sweet choice.
