Interesting Facts About Strawberries:

The strawberry, as we know it, was originally grown in northern Europe, but species
are also found in Russia, Chile, and the United States. The berries seem to be strewn among
the leaves of the plant. The plant first had the name strawberry, which later was changed
to strawberry.
The strawberry plant has seeds on the outside skin rather than having an outer skin
around the seed, as most berries do. There are about 200 seeds in one strawberry.
Strawberries are high in vitamins and low in calories. Compared to a lot of other fruits,
the strawberry is tiny but mighty. It is packed with nutrition and flavor. One serving of
strawberries - that's 8 medium berries - has 160% of the Vitamin C our bodies need every
day. Strawberries also contain 20% of the folic acid and 16% of the dietary fiber we need
every day for good health. And, only 45 calories and no fat!

Strawberry Fields Forever
By Lennon and McCartney

Let me take you down, 'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out
it doesn't matter much to me.

Let me take you down, 'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right
that is I think it's not too bad.

Let me take you down, 'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever.

Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know
I know when it's a dream I think I know I mean a 'Yes'
but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever..... Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever.
