20160506：Reward for virtue 对美德的奖赏
My friend,Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he decided to
go on a diet. He began his diet a week ago. First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the
foods which were forbidden. The list included most of the things Hugh loves: butter,
potatoes,rice, beer, milk, chocolate; and sweets. Yesterday I paid him a visit. I rang the
bell andwas not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever. He led me into hisroom
and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that he was very
embarrassed.When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily and then put the
parcel onthe desk. He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself
occasionally.Then he showed me the contents of the parcel. It contained five large bars
ofchocolate and three bags of sweets!
