Why the long face, little kitty?
2
Oh dear, that's one tough kick.
3
But don't let it get you down.
4
Sometimes the biggest flops lead to the most amazing discoveries.
5
Yes!
6
Let me tell you about a little accident that led to something we all love.
7
The invention of the Popsicle.
8
Zoom in!
9
On a chilly Oakland night in 1905,
10
11 year old, Frank Epperson mixed up some water and powdered soda to make a sweet drink.
11
Something kids loved to do back then.
12
Next he grabbed a wooden stick to stir it all together
13
Probably planning to sip and enjoy it right away But for some reason,
14
maybe he dashed off to play a game,
15
got distracted or simply forgot Frank left the glass outside on the porch overnight Now,
16
before we find out what happened next Let's take a quick detour into the cool history of frozen desserts.
17
Believe it or not, people have been enjoying icy treats for thousands of years.
18
In ancient Rome, servants climbed snowy mountains to fetch blocks of ice until which were crushed,
19
grizzled with honey or fruit syrup and served as luxurious treats for emperors.
20
Centuries later, Marco Polo enjoyed icy desserts at Kublai Khan's court in China and brought the idea of sawbears to Europe.
21
By Thomas Jefferson's time, sawbears were all the rage And he impressed his guests at Monticello with handcrafted frozen delights.
22
For most of history, however,
23
frozen desserts were a luxury reserved for the wealthy.
24
Something ordinary folks could only dream of.
25
But back to Frank and his little oops moment.
26
The next morning, when he went outside,
27
he found that his drink had frozen solid in the chilly night air.
28
The wooden stick he left in the glass was now stuck inside the frozen mixture,
29
creating what we'd now call an ice pop.
30
Always curious, Frank ran the glass under warm water to loosen it and pulled out the frosty treat.
31
What did he do next?
32
He took a bite of sauce and just like that,
33
the very first popsicle was born.
34
A crisp, sweet and icy delight.
35
At first, Frank kept his cool invention to himself,
36
sharing it with his friends and years later with his own kids.
37
He called them Epsicles, a clever nod to his last name.
38
But his kids had a better idea.
39
They started calling them Popsicles and the name stuck.
40
In 1923, Frank decided it was time to take his creation to the next level.
41
So he filed a patent for the Popsicle.
42
Teaming up with the Joe Lowe Company,
43
Frank began selling his frozen treats at amusement parks and soda stands across America.
44
They cost just five cents and came in bright fruity flavours like cherry,
45
orange and grape, making it an instant hit.
46
When the Great Depression hit,
47
the popsicle became more than just a fun treat.
48
It became a small act of kindness.
49
Frank introduced the double stick popsicle,
50
which let two kids share one for the price of a single.
51
For just a nickel, siblings and friends could split an icy joy,
52
making hard times just a little bit sweeter.
53
Today, the popsicle is not just a summertime icon,
54
but proof that some of the best ideas come from happy accidents.
55
So the next time you unwrap a popsicle,
56
Take a moment to appreciate the curious boy who turned a mistake into a frosty legacy
57
and give the world a little more happiness on a stick.
58
Trivia time!
59
Did you know National Grape Popsicle Day is celebrated on May 27th?
60
Also, approximately 2 billion popsicle ice pops are sold each year worldwide.
61
Sketching time!
62
Today's sketch of the day goes to Sarah Shaheed Hope you had fun today Until next time,
63
it's me Dr. Binox, Zooming out!
64
Kick-sick-oo!
65
Never mind you

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
