Before the end of 1955, most people had never heard of Minnie Mangum. She had worked for many years at a bank in Norfolk, Virginia, and though she was known for being generous with her friends, she was by no means famous. That changed on December 29, 1955, when Mangum was arrested for embezzling about three million dollars. She had used the money she took from the bank to buy gifts for friends and family members, including homes and eighty-five cars. She was sentenced to twenty years in prison.

What is the main idea of this passage?
Carrots contain high amounts of vitamin A and are good for general eye health. However, carrots will not improve night vision. That myth goes back to British propaganda during World War II. In 1940, the German Luftwaffe, or air force, began bombing Britain at night. In response, the British government ordered people to turn off their lights; the government wanted to make it difficult for German pilots to hit their targets. A new technology, radar, allowed the British air force to track and shoot down the German planes without light. To keep the technology secret, the government told the media that their pilots could see the German planes because they consumed so many carrots. Consequently, people began to believe that eating carrots would help them see better in the dark.
In your own words! And it's not "Bunnies eat carrots."
