	Gulchin A. I am fond of ice cream, and when it gets cold my mother doesn’t allow me to eat ice cream. But some days, when I persuade her to buy it for me, it turns against me, because I begin to cough. Of course, mother then begins to curse me because I don’t follow her advice. As all mothers in the world, she does her best in order to help me. She prepares puree from quince, with sugar. We take one quince and peel it, then put it in a saucepan full of water and put it on a stove. After it boils, we remove it from the saucepan and cut it in pieces. Then we make puree from it and add granulated sugar. I take this remedy 3 times a day before a meal. It helps me a lot. What I like most of all is that it is very palatable. Actually I like boiled fruits, because they’re tasty and useful at the same time. To tell the truth, I don’t know if I would drink it 3 times a day if it wasn’t tasty.
	Sabina A. Very often I catch a cold, because I don’t like to wear a hat. Whenever my mother gives me a hat to put on, I take it off as soon as we get out of the house. That’s why I get flu and begin to cough. In order to improve my health, mother prepares a special remedy for me, called "Radish Cup". To make this remedy, black or white radish is used. We take a radish and cut a piece, shaped like a up, from its body, so we can pour pure honey into it. We then let it stand overnight. The next day there is juice that is a mixture of honey and radish juice - like medicinal nectar. We use this juice to help cure disease like pneumonia, coughs and flu. Mother gives me this remedy 3 times a day. The taste of this juice is very sweet and I don’t think of it as medicine, but as dessert, so I always drink it!
	Samir H. I like eating dishes with piquant and strong relish such as piquant sauce, pickled pepper and mayonnaise. When I eat it a lot, though, I get stomach ache! To stop this pain my mother prepares a special remedy for me from a liquid that’s made by infusion from camomile and sweet tea with pieces of bread in it. We put sugar into the tea to make sweet tea and then we put pieces of bread (cut from the crust) into the tea. After eating this preparation I get well at once; it helps me a lot. Camomile is a medicinal plant. It is useful for very many diseases and ills, including stomach ache. Sometimes we put dried camomile in a cup and then fill it with boiling water. After we let it stand for an hour I drink it. Because it tastes very bitter, mother gives me something sweet after drinking it.
