Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Slice the dragon fruit in half. Use a spoon to separate the fruit from the skin. Chop the fruit into cubes.

Answer: Place the fruit on a cutting board and get a sharp knife. Leaving the skin intact, cut the fruit lengthwise. A single cut down from the stem separates the fruit into 2 halves, revealing the edible white fruit inside. Slide the spoon between the pink skin and the white fruit. Lift the spoon to remove the fruit. The edible part comes away from the skin very easily, so doing this shouldn't require a lot of effort. Another variety of dragon fruit is red inside instead of white. It's still safe to eat, but not as common as the white variety. Place the 2 halves of the fruit on the cutting board, discarding the skin. The black seeds in the white fruit are edible, so there is no need to remove them. All you have to do is roughly chop the fruit into a manageable size and eat it. You can eat the fruit raw or, for added flavor, try incorporating it into a smoothie or fruit salad.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Let the wax dry completely. Scrape up the excess. Vacuum the area. Test the area for heat sensitivity.

Answer: When you knock over a candle or get wax on the carpet, your clothes, or another piece of fabric, you must give the wax time to dry before you can clean it. Otherwise, you risk pushing the wax deeper into the fibers if you try to wipe it up when it's wet. Wax doesn't take long to dry. For small amounts, the wax will be dry in a couple of minutes. For larger spills, you may have to way 15 to 20 minutes. To speed up the process, apply an ice cube to the affected area to dry the wax faster. When the wax is dry, use a butter knife or spoon to scrape the wax and break it up. Pick up any large pieces that flake off and throw them in the garbage. Avoid spreading the loose wax flakes around as much as possible, as this could make cleanup more difficult. On fabric, peel the fabric away from the back of the wax to dislodge the larger pieces. When you're removing wax from a rug or carpet, vacuum the area thoroughly to suck up any pieces or flakes of wax that you scraped off. This will prevent wax from melting into the carpet in a larger area when you go to remove it. Instead of vacuuming fabrics, take the material outside and shake it out to remove loose wax pieces. The easiest way to remove wax from fabrics and carpeting is with an iron, but only if the material can withstand the heat. Set an iron to low and let it preheat. Once hot, apply the iron to an inconspicuous area of the fabric or carpet for 30 seconds. Remove the iron and inspect for damage, melting, or warping. During the test, remove the iron immediately if the carpet or material starts to smoke, smells like burning, or begins to melt.
