The small town of Olney, in England, is very famous on one

Tuesday every year. Shrove Tuesday is in February, and it's a
'r:spééial. day, in;some,.p,láioe§J.this is called Carnivatpr,iMar{ii1..ir;1,
Gras, but in the U.K. it's called Pancake Day. Traditionally,
this is a day when people empty their kitchen cabinets to use
up foods like eggs and butter. They make a lot of delicious
pancakes and eat them with lemon juice and sugar. So why is

ai the history of Shrove Tuesday in OIney.
b'j a description of the town of Olney.

. : ' ' . is that in 1445, a woman in Olney was making pancakes on Shrove Tuesday
when the church bells rang. She didn't want to be late, so she ran out of her house. She was
wearing the typical apron and headscarf of 1Sth Century housewives. She was also carrying
a frying pan with a pancake in it when she arrived at the churchl Today, the people of Olney
remember that event with a Pancake Race every year on Shrove Tuesday.

a I think the topic of the next paragraph is going to be

a) an explanation of how to make pancakes.
b) a description of the pancake race.
