The Picky Eater

Howie's mother called him a picky eater. He would eat nothing much else but cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.

One day, Howie's mother told him, "Your father and I will have a meeting tomorrow evening. You can play at Ashwin's home and even stay for dinner."

"What?" Howie cried out before he could remember his manners. "I mean, that's great," he added unwillingly. Howie liked playing with his friend Ashwin, but there were no cheese sandwiches at Ashwin's home!

"I know you are sensitive about being a picky eater, but you need to try new things. You can't eat sandwiches and tomato soup forever. I expect you to have good manners at Ashwin's home. It's rude to say no when someone offers you food, "his mother said.

The next day, Howie followed Ashwin into Ashwin's home and they played together for some time. "Why do you keep checking the time? "Ashwin asked.

"I just wondered if it was time for dinner,"Howie said.

"Sure! Smell it! Yummy! "Ashwin said.

Dinner was ready. Howie dragged(拖)his feet as he walked to his seat. The food on the table was much more colorful than his usual dinner. He had a sinking feeling in his stomach. How in the world could he eat this meal?

"Try it," Ashwin's mother said.

Howie wished he could say no, but he knew his mother expected him to try it. He scooped up a tiny bit of rice and put it in his mouth, "Wow, it's delicious!"

After Howie went home, he told his mother the food he tried at Ashwin's home was delicious! She was happy to know Howie behaved so politely and was willing to try some new foods. She said, "Is it possible that my picky eater is gone forever?"

"I think so!" Howie smiled.
