A Sweet Tooth爱吃巧克力

　　读故事

　　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.
