Fill in the blanks to complete the passage.

Have you ever eaten a fortune cookie? A           fortune           cookie is a special type of cookie occasionally served with Chinese food and it has a special surprise hidden inside. Each fortune cookie contains a        slip        of paper that has a special fortune printed on it. The cookies are made in a special pocket-type shape which leaves the perfect space for the paper to fit inside.

Fortune cookies have a place in           history          . During the 14th century, a Taoist priest sent messages to Chinese rebels by hiding them inside moon cakes. In 19th and early 20th century America, Chinese railroad workers gave cakes filled with           holiday           messages to their friends during the holidays. But the modern-day fortune cookie was most likely created not by someone from         China        , but someone from Japan.

Makoto Hagiwara was a restaurant owner in San Francisco. He served fortune           cookies           with tea at his restaurant. To make the cookies, Hagiwara made a basic batter out of flour, sugar, eggs, and water. He would make the dough into circles, bake it, and add the fortune just before it          cooled         . Then he would quickly fold cookie into its popular shape.

Today, fortune cookies are made by machines. Once the cookies are baked, vacuums suck the fortunes into the cookies before the cookies are          folded         . The folding process traps the fortune inside. Some machines even allow people to insert their own fortunes. They have used fortunes for marriage proposal, holiday greetings, and even funny            messages           .
