Patty hated vegetables. When she saw the salad on the table, she pushed her plate away.

“Patty!” Her father called her name. He liked his dinner, and he hated bad table manners (餐桌礼仪).

“Where are my hamburgers? Why can?t I have potato chips for once?” asked Patty.

“We had hamburgers and chips last weekend. During this week we need to eat healthy food,” Mother explained.

“How about some soda (汽水), then?” asked Patty. “I hate milk.” “Patty!” Father called her name again and looked at her seriously.

Patty knew her father was angry. She tried to eat some but spat (吐) it back on the plate.

“Patty! Room! Now!” Father shouted at her.

Patty ran to her bedroom, and threw herself on the bed. She cried for a few minutes, but then she had a plan. Her parents would feel sad and give her some food she actually liked if she didn?t eat anything for days.

She smiled to herself, imagining her parents feeding her ice-cream.

Mom tried to get her to eat later that evening, but she refused. Patty didn?t eat breakfast the next day either. When lunch came around, she was hungry, but she didn?t eat anything. They didn?t offer her anything special when she didn?t eat. That surprised her.

By the time dinner came around, she could hardly move. She felt very weak. Suddenly, vegetables didn?t look so bad. They didn?t taste so bad either. Patty had many vegetables that night. She went to bed with a full stomach. She still wanted junk food, but she could wait until the weekend.
