III. Read the text and say where the first ice cream cones were
made and sold.
For folks who lived anywhere near St. Louis, Missouri, the
biggest event in the summer of 1904 was the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, which took place in that city. No one knew
beforehand, but that exposition was the occasion where ice
cream cones were first made and sold. The person who did it
was named Charles Menches and he was a seller of ice cream.
But he didn't plan to invent the ice cream cone. This is how it
happened. Charles Menches sold his ice cream in dishes the way
every other ice cream man did. That August when the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition was at its height, was a real scorcher,
however, and one day disaster struck Mr. Menches. There were
so many hot and thirsty fairgoers wanting ice cream that he ran
out of dishes. And it wasn't even noon. He had more than half a
day of business ahead of him and not a single dish to serve his
ice cream on. What did Menches do? He looked around him
and thought fast. Nearby was a stand where his friend, Ernest
Hamwi, who was from Syria, was selling a Middle Eastern
treat called Zalabia. Zalabia consists of a crisp, wafer-like
pastry sold with syrup. "Give me Zalabia!" cried Menches. He
rolled up the Zalabia, scooped his ice cream on top, and
presto! Ice cream corne were born
