Read the passage.

The "Secret Annexe" has heard the joyful news that each person will receive an extra quarter of a pound of butter for Christmas. It says half a pound in the newspapers, but that's only for the lucky mortals who get their ration booklets from the government, not for Jews who have gone into hiding, who can only afford to buy four ration books, instead of eight.
