Item #3 (High-Intermediate Level)

Once Every Four Years

Everyone knows that there are three hundred and sixty five days in a year.
But the truth is that this isn’t accurate. Actually there are three hundred
and sixty five days and a quarter, so that every four years there’s another
day in the year, February twenty ninth, also called Leap Day. On this day
there’s a custom in which women propose to men. Daniel and Orin who
chose to get married on this special day, say that the choice also has a
financial explanation. Many companies have sales especially for this day.
Hen, who was born on February twenty ninth will be eight years old
tomorrow, but is already thinking about how she’ll celebrate her Bat
Mitzvah in four years.
