Mom: Daniel, I need to talk to you about your behavior. Dad and I realize there is probably an explanation for why the house is so dirty, but you shouldn’t have run out of the room and closed the door so hard like that.
Daniel: Mom, I’m sorry, but I was so angry! You want me to act like an adult but you and dad treat me like a child. Why didn’t you just ask me what had happened?
Mom: Well, I know that grown-ups are supposed to make good decisions but sometimes we make mistakes. We were angry too. None of us stopped to think and we should have. Can you explain to me now why the house was a mess and what you did with the money we left?
Daniel: Spot was sick, Mom. Eric and I didn’t want to call you and dad on your vacation, so I used the money you left and some of my own to take him to the vet. We stayed there and waited for him all day. That is why we didn’t have time to clean the house.

(15) people from around the world came to the eastern Spanish town of Bunol. They threw tons of tomatoes (16) each other in a yearly food fight. That made the street in red juice. A rocket (17) from the town hall was the start of the event for which local government offered 120 tons of tomatoes.
Many people, including many from Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Asia, wore hard hats, glasses or protective plastic sheets. (18) protect their things from the sea of red mush (糊状物), shopkeepers (19) huge plastic covers on the front of their stores. About 40,000 people took part in the tomato fight this year, (20) four times the people of the town. (21) amazing!
After the fight lasting about one hour, municipal(市政的) workers and local people used big water pipes to clean the streets which were covered with tomato mush. The joiners went to a nearby river to wash (22) .
The tomato fight is held each year on the last Wednesday in August. The start of the event is still not clear although it is (23) to have its roots in a food fight between childhood friends (24) in Bunol.
