White versus Brown Eggs: what's the difference?
Picture
In two or three sentences, explain what you think is the difference between a white egg and a brown egg?
When Miss Davies was first asked this question many many years ago during her first class visit to the Norfolk Country Fair grade 4 Agricultural Seminar, she had no idea ... so being silly she made a guess and said, "Nothing. There is no difference"...
Well, it turns out her guess was correct and there is absolutely no difference in a white or brown egg...

So, you might ask:
why are the eggs placed in different separate containers?
why does one container with the exact number of eggs cost more than the other?


In a short paragraph explain why you think they are placed in separate containers and why is does one container with the exact number of eggs cost more than the other
