| I'm on a diet to lose weight! |

Martha is on a diet to
lose weight, but her friend is trying to coax her into eating a bowl of ice-cream.
Can Martha stand the temptation? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sydney: |
Would
you like to have some ice-cream? I've got a variety of flavors for you to choose
from. I've got strawberry, peach, chocolate, chocolate chip, chocolate brownie,
coffee, vanilla, rocky road, butter pecan, and praline. |
 |
|
Martha: |
Wow! What choices you
have! I wish I could, but I just can't. I'm on a diet to lose weight. |
|
|
Sydney: |
Come
on, it's just a bite. It doesn't really hurt to have just a bite. |
|
|
Martha: |
I'd better
not. Please don't tempt me. Please! |
|
|
Sydney: |
Gee!
You are really strong-willed. |
|
|
Martha: |
You're darn right. I'm not
so easily coaxed into doing something that I think is wrong. |
|
|
Sydney: |
Well,
I'd better not tempt you. Otherwise, if I give you a piece of cake, you might ask
for a glass of milk. |
