A Painful Lesson - Street Food

     One day, Margaret received some pocket money from her mum because she got high marks in the examination. She rushed to tell it to her bigger sister excitedly.

     She left her home and went to her friend Kelly’s house. When she reached her home, Kelly’s mother told Margaret that Kelly was out. Margaret was a bit disappointed because she intended to go shopping with Kelly. While Margaret was leaving, she met Kelly. Kelly said, “There is a food stall in a nearby street which sells very yummy fish balls and pork rind,” she continued, “Let’s try them!”

     “Wow, I’m so happy to hear that! Let’s go there as quickly as possible!” Margaret said cheerfully.

     When they arrived at the food stall, they saw various kinds of street food which looked very yummy.  At first, they bought one stick of fish balls each.  They finished it very quickly and then they bought another stick. At last, they gave all the money to the owner and he gave the girls all the food.  The girls emptied the food immediately and felt very satisfied.

     They went back to their own home.  Soon, Margaret suffered a serious stomachache.  She called her friend Kelly and found that Kelly had got the same sickness.

      At night, their parents went back home and saw that they were very sick.  The girls told the truth to their parents. At last, the parents scolded them for being so gluttonous. The girls also learnt a big lesson!
