Welcome to the Voice of America's News Words. Beans from the vanilla plant produce one of the most valuable flavorings for food.

VIGILANT

Vanilla beans are worth about $530 a kilo. The high price makes them a target for criminals.

Jao Nasaina is a vanilla farmer in Madagascar. The vanilla thieves cut off the vanilla plants and the pods. So, I've become more vigilant.

This year I bought a spear and a small pistol gun to protect myself and my farm. To be vigilant is to look carefully for signs of danger. A vigilant person pays close attention in order to avoid problems.
