How does Paragraph 5 contribute to the overall article? Cite evidence from the text in your answer. "HOW AN 11-YEAR-OLD BOY INVENTED THE POPSICLE" Commonlit.

Paragraph five contributes to the overall article by reflecting the main reason of the spoken history, and what was led from it. The paragraph mentions, "This origin story is charming, if somewhat apocryphal,"  meaning it's an unbelievable mistake that commenced history. Then, the paragraph mentions, "but it didn’t have a happy ending for the inventor." The purpose of bringing up the origin of the story was to say the cause of it; Epperson became broke and sold his creation to a company, with lots of regrets. He became a melting popsicle. This is how paragraph five contributes to the overall story.
