Every good cook knows that even a great recipe isn’t going to result in a delicious
dish without quality ingredients. Professional chefs use only fine, fresh produce.
They usually prefer to buy healthy organic fruit and vegetables at small farmer-
owned stands at local markets instead of in large grocery stores. For example, they
select dark green leafy lettuce and smooth, round tomatoes at the peak of freshness
for their summer salads. They pick ripe red strawberries, sweet Persian melons, and
exotic tropical fruit for luscious, light desserts.

Answers will vary, but a suggested version is:
It’s Mother’s Day, May 14, 1939. The baseball game is being played in Chicago.
It’s being watched by the parents of pitcher Bob Feller, who plays for Cleveland, Ohio.
They are attending the game to watch their son throw baseballs to the batters. Today, the
balls that are being thrown are hard, and the balls that are being hit are like rocks. Feller
is throwing a ball, and Marv Owen is hitting it. As the ball is flying through the air, it is
moving with force and speed. By chance, that baseball hits Feller’s mother, breaks her
glasses, and cuts her above her eye. While his mother is being given medical attention,
Feller is going to see if she is all right. Feller returns to the game and strikes out Owen.
On a day when mothers across the country are being honored, Feller’s mother is being
treated for her injuries.
