  # Bonus Question:  In the previous koan, we saw the construct:
  #
  #   File.open(filename) do |file|
  #     # code to read 'file'
  #   end
  #
  # Why did we do it that way instead of the following?
  #
  #   file = File.open(filename)
  #   # code to read 'file'
  #
  # When you get to the "AboutSandwichCode" koan, recheck your answer.
