A half won’t harm anyone My friend Jenny and I had been faithfully following
a diet program for two months and had not eaten any sweets during
that time. One
morning we met for breakfast and successfully stayed on program,
eating only boiled eggs, dry toast, orange juice and black coffee.
Next to us sat a gentleman who was leisurely breakfasting on three
glazed donuts. We were very The man left his seat at the counter, leaving one untouched donut behind. My friend nudged me and pointed at it, saying, “Look! We can’t let that go to waste. Grab it before the waitress clears it away!” Without pause or second thought we halved the donut and were happily licking our fingertips when the gentleman returned to his seat from the bathroom. We kept our eyes lowered and red faces averted as he questioned the waitress, and before he could consider us, we made a hasty retreat out the door. Sandra Roberts |
