Once upon a time there was a hamburger in the restaurant, who had many lives. Each day she would wake up and patiently wait her turn to be prepared by the _____ before they were served to the customers. She would do everything possible to make herself really _____ while being eaten. But with the customer’s final bite, she would feel like the lights had gone out and she had simply fallen asleep. The next day all would repeat.

The little hamburger wanted to quietly _____ this way for many years. But one day, she heard one of the customers say she was “junk food”. And this made her _____! From then on she found that many people used that _____ name about her and her sisters. And after listening closely to the radio about junk food, she accepted the fact: it was _____, and she was “junk food”.

Now she _____ why most of her favourite customers were now much fatter than before, and why they didn’t look so _____. The hamburger felt bad, so she tried to find some way to change that ______.

Then she got a(n) _____. The hamburger told all her sisters not to have any flavor (味道) whenever they were with a customer that visited too often, but to be even more delicious only when the customer _____ came.

In this way they began to see fewer unhealthy-looking faces, and many of their old friends started looking much better.

And these hamburgers became much more popular from then on, because more people think it’s nicer to ______something after a while of not having had it.
