So, how do you make silk? The first problem is that the silkworm only eats leaves from one tree - the mulberry tree. "It is easier to prepare food for a human than a silkworm," says Toshio Ito, a Japanese silkworm expert. Silkworms only live for about 28 days, but in that time they increase in weight 10,000 times. Then, they make a cocoon. Workers collect the cocoons and kill the silkworms with steam. Then, they put the cocoons into hot water to soften them. Next, they pull the fibers from the cocoon and spin them to make silk thread. Finally, they weave the thread into cloth on machines called looms. But why is silk so expensive? Well, it takes 110 cocoons to make a tie, 630 cocoons to make a blouse, and 3,000 cocoons to make a kimono. That's many hours of hard work. But many people believe silk's beauty is worth it. Which statement DOES NOT explain why silk is so expensive?

"Silkworms only live for about 28 days."

"It takes many cocoons to make a piece of clothing."

"It takes many hours to make a piece of clothing."
