Understanding Contextual Vocabulary

In the little town of Maplewood, the annual fair was a much-anticipated event. Everyone looked forward to the colorful balloons, the delightful aroma of popcorn, and the cheerful laughter of children playing games. This year, the fair, which lasted three days, was especially lively. Many new rides had been added, and one of the most popular was the Ferris wheel. It towered high above the fairgrounds, offering a spectacular view of the town. As the sun began to set, the lights on the Ferris wheel twinkled brightly, making it a beautiful sight. But amidst all the fun, there was a strict rule to always follow: safety came first.
