【题目】Lisa, 6, used to argue with her mum about everything. One day, after an hour of arguing, Lisa said, "Mum, you never let me make decisions. You always decide what we are going to eat or where we are going to go. "

The next day her mum called, "Lisa, you can decide what you are going to eat. I'll cook whatever you want, but you have to eat up whatever you ask for. " A big smile spread across Lisa's face. "Okay. I'd like bacon, sausages, toast, eggs and chocolate milk. "

Lisa liked this. She ate the bacon, sausages and toast, but when she finished her first egg, she was full. Lisa forced herself to eat up and then she walked to school. When she got to school, her stomach hurt, but by the time she was ready to go home, she had been back to normal.

"Mum, I'd like steak, pie, peas, bread and butter and chocolate cake for supper. " As her mum made supper, she started smiling, knowing it wouldn't be much longer before Lisa learned her lesson. Lisa had no problem finishing the steak, pie, peas, bread and butter, but when she started eating the chocolate cake, she felt very full. That night she had a stomachache. She was up all night crying and felt very sick.

The next morning she went to her mum, "Mum, I don't want to make all the choices any more. I want you to pick what we'll have for dinner in the future. "

Satisfied that Lisa had learned her lesson, her morn replied, "You can pick what to eat once a week, but don't ask for too much, all right?"

From then on, Lisa didn't argue with her mum that much, and her mum let her make more decisions. They were both much happier this way.
