Story # 1 Split Pea Soup
Martha was very fond of making split pea soup. Sometimes she made it all day long. Pots and pots of split pea soup. If there was one thing that George was not fond of, it was split pea soup. As a matter of fact, George hated split pea soup more than anything in the world. But it was so hard to tell Martha.
One day, after George had eaten ten bowls of Martha’s soup, he said to himself, “I just can’t stand another bowl. Not even another spoonful.”
So, while Martha was out in the kitchen, George carefully poured the rest of his soup into his loafers under the table. “Now she will think I have eaten it.”
But Martha was watching from the kitchen.
“How do you expect to walk home with your loafers full of split pea soup?” she asked George.
“Oh dear,” said George. “You saw me.”
“And why didn’t you tell me that you hate my split pea soup?”
“I didn’t want to hurt your feelings,” said George.
“That’s silly,” said Martha. “Friends should always tell each other the truth. As a matter of act, I don’t like split pea soup every much myself. I only like to make it. From now on, you’ll never have to eat that awful soup again.”
“What a relief!” George sighed.
“Would you like some chocolate chip cookies instead?” asked Martha.
“Oh, that would be lovely,” said his friend.
我個人覺得很有這張的 fu~
