    2) Read the story Earth Cakes, Sky Cakes and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D for each question.

     

    Once upon a time, in the 6th Hung Vuong dynasty, the King wanted to give the crown to one of his sons. He decided that he would organise a competition, and he would give the crown to whoever could find the most delicious and special food.

    Each prince searched for an amazing food with the hope that they would become King. Tiet Lieu, the 18th prince, was a very kind person. One day, he dreamed that a god told him how to make some special food to symbolise the earth, the sky, and the parents. Tiet Lieu woke up and made Banh Chung and Banh DayBanh Chung was square and symbolised the earth. Banh Day was round and symbolised the sky. Banh Chung and Banh Day symbolised the parents, too.

    The King had seen and tasted all of the special food, but he thought Banh Chung and Banh Day were the most delicious. He asked Tiet Lieu about the meanings of them, and then he decided to give the crown to Tiet Lieu. From that day on, Vietnamese people make Banh Chung and Banh Day on the Tet holiday and on some other occasions.
