　　Maryanne was a constant and consistent consumer; she bought a lot of chocolate, and would only have the best ones. Consequently, she grew to a considerable size because of her chocolate consumption.But being a contemporary woman, she really preferred to be thin, so she went to consult a consultant for overeaters.In consideration of her feelings, he decided not to tell Maryanne that she was the largest container of consumed chocolate he had ever seen.She thought he was very considerate because he didn't seem to mind that he had to construct a special seat for her to fit into.But his consideration changed to annoyance when Maryanne kept eating chocolates.He told Maryanne that she should not contact him again until she could sit in front of him without eating chocolates.He said he could take into consideration giving her some quality chocolates if she could do that.But Maryanne contested this and said that it was against the Constitution to stop her from eating the food that her contemporaries all liked, and so eating chocolate remained a constant in her diet.Under such a context they lost contact.Maryanne then won a chocolate eating contest, was constituted the chocolate ambassador of the country, and was awarded a construct made of chocolate to live in.

　　玛丽安是一名持之以恒而且始终如一的消费者：她买很多巧克力，而且只买的。结果她的体积变得相当大，因为她消费了太多的巧克力。可作为一名当代妇女，她真的希望自己苗条，于是她去请教一名专治过量饮食患者的医生。考虑到她的感受，他决定不告诉玛丽安她是他见过的的装满消耗过的巧克力的容器。她觉得他很体贴，因为他似乎并不介意为她建造一把特殊的椅子，好让她能坐进去。但看到玛丽安不停地吃巧克力，他的关心变成了恼怒。他告诉玛丽安，在她能够坐在他的前面不吃巧克力之前，不要再与他取得联系。他说如果她能做到这一点，他会考虑送给她一些上等巧克力。但玛丽安辩驳道，不让她吃巧克力违反了宪法，况且这东西她的同代人个个爱吃，所以她一如既往地吃她的巧克力。在这样的背景下，他们失去了联系。后来玛丽安在一次吃巧克力比赛中脱颖而出并因此被任命为国家的巧克力大使，她还获得了一座可以住的用巧克力盖的建筑物奖品。
