A yummy invention(发明)
Oops! Frank Epperson forgot to bring his cup inside. He’d made a fruity drink by mixing the flavoured powder with water together, but he left it on the porch(门廊) overnight. The cup had his drink and the mixing stick(棍) still in it.

The night was very cold. The next morning, Frank went outside and saw his cup. His drink had frozen(结冰). He pulled on the mixing stick. The frozen drink came out of the cup. It looked like a big, fruity icicle(冰柱) on a stick.
Would it taste good? He licked(舔) the flavoured ice. Yum! Frank never forgot the icy treat he’d invented in 1905. When he grew up and had kids of his own, he made ice pops for them. Then he thought if he could sell his dessert(甜点).

Frank took his ice pops to an amusement park(游乐园). Everyone loved what he’d made! At first, he called his invention the Epsicle, because his last name was Epperson. But his kids didn’t like the sound of that. They called their dad “Pop”, so they came up with a different name, the Popsicle. Popsicles were a hit! Frank made new flavours. People loved those too. Then a big company(公司) bought Frank’s recipe (食谱). They made more and more Popsicles. Today you can buy Popsicles on one stick, or on two. They come in many fruit flavours and even in chocolate.
