More than i can take

In the beginning, i was given a bowl of rice to eat. It was full of nutritious stuff and all the things i like.

The gravy with a little bit of fatty and fried. Just the way i like it.

It was affordable and pleasing to the stomach. I thought that this was heaven.

Just as i was about to finish my meal, the bowl was refilled again. But this time, with lesser rice and more of the things i like. I was grateful that the stall owner was so generous. So i tried my best to eat what i was given. The stall owner sat there looking at me with excitement as i continue to eat his food. With every mouth, he asked," Is it nice?" And i would just nod my head.

By this time, i was already so full that my stomach could burst. What was heaven turned into a nightmare when the stall owner filled up my bowl once again. This time with only rice and gravy and without the things i like. I asked him to stop as i can no longer eat anymore. But then he asked," So you don’t think that my food is nice?" And before i could explain…He added," if its nice, you can surely eat more."

Somehow, i gave in and tried my best to eat it. While i ate, he watched closely.

To my horror, when i was reaching to the bottom of the bowl, i saw him preparing to get more food. I cried,"Please! i cant eat anymore!." Talking and trying to control the urge to vomit.

Instead of listening to me, he said," I have no one to buy my food and i have got many mouths to feed. If you dont buy my food, who will? Would you want to be responsible for killing my family?"

I cant believe what kind of mess i had got myself into. And before i could walk off, he started to talk loudly to the passerby," Nowadays youngsters are so evil. They eat and do not pay. After eating so much,then she tells me she cant afford to pay! Poor me! I have got many mouths to feed and she wants to cheat me of $3!"

Passerbys started surrounding me to point and criticise. I looked at the stall owner with disbelief.

He then added more into my bowl and said," You eat a little more and i will only charge you $10 for all that you have eaten. I will forgive you and forget that you were trying to cheat me of my money."

As i ate, the passerbys looked and were praising the stall owner for being so forgiving to this ‘evil’ youngster.

When i was finished, i gave the stall owner $10 and ran to the toilet to vomit. I will never go to that stall again and like those thing that i liked again.
